Care to elaborate - not sure I understand what happened. You were on a river and hit a soft spot?

Not good news, sounds like everything took a beating and will need many days of cold temps to firm everything up again. Fingers crossed. Not sure I recall things this bad up there at the end of January.

I remember when Silver City in late 90s was like that all the time on north side of 1 then rerouted trail to south side of road and never saw the problem again. I had wet feet all the time had to cross back ride next sled across while peeps tip toed to other side. Bummer
