Neither of the signs in the pictures below refer to anything more than where sometimes a trickle of water comes under the trail. Both are dry - one a minor drainage ditch, the other has a brand new huge dam about 3 miles up this dry gulch, limiting any flow that might get there. Been riding the trail 12 years and NEVER any water on top of the trail or bridge.

I talked with the trail crew installing the signs. They were apologetic, but said the town lawyer had been involved. I wonder about the cost of the signs - designing, ordering, figuring out where to place them, paying for the sign and post, assembling the sign, digging the holes and pounding the signs in, etc.

Wouldn't you think that someone might know not to enter the flooded trail if, in the 100,000:1 chance, it was ever "flooded?"

Grr!!

(seen on my ride/swim this am - 1.5 hours riding - starting at 35F, and 40 minutes of swimming. Saw a herd of 15 deer and then later on 7 deer. Maybe they need a sign "Do not enter when deer are crossing trail"??)
