i talked to a ranger almost exactly 1 year ago (conversation was may 16th, 2009). we were at the trail head and he came by just to check things out. he told us to enjoy the trail while it lasted. the problem with the "cleghorn" we all know and love is the route that crisscrosses the actual trail (forest number escapes me) is designated as an ATV/motorcycle route/not a real NFS trail at all. over the years its been widened out, and trucks like us drive on it. there were never any signs designating one road from the other, so of course we picked the more challenging motorcycle route.

shame they had to do it, but i understand why. this was my first trail, my first offroading experience in my 4runner. it holds alot of memories, even my avatar picture is from cleghorn!
