Oak Leaf Trail Status
Anyone been on the NW portion of the Oak Leaf Trail in Milwaukee last few days? I tried using it to commute a couple weeks ago, and found major portions underwater (South of Sivler Spring until it becomes the Meno. River Pkwy). I've bypassed those portions since then, just wondering if anyone knows if it's dried out yet?

I wasn't on it that far north, but yesterday when I was cruising a lot of the areas just south of Capitol still had a lot of water on them. I wouldn't be surprised if there was still a lot of water on the northern section, too.

I've been on the southern parts, south of Greenfield Park and it's been dry with the exception of the normal low spots (if you ride it often enough, you know where they are). The last three days, I've been on the Racine County Bike Trail, and it's been damp, but not too wet. That will all change starting this evening though ... but I'm out the door NOW for one last tanning session.
Will drive to Burlington and ride north towards Waterford and back.
