I just spoke with the Sproul State Forest Office in Renovo and they stated that the connector should be open by mid August the bridges are almost complete and final inspection of the bridges should be done in a couple weeks. The individual that I spoke with stated that trail construction will be done for the connector but he said that maintenance on the existing trail will not be done due to the lack of personnel.

Irish & I should be riding in that general area in August . Sure hope it's open by then .

I am not sure if they do or not it would be a great cause to volunteer for if there is alot of interest in doing that I could set something up

Ooopps , I edited my post Towerdriver .

I just got off the phone with Diane at the main office about volunteering . She said she thought it was a nice idea , but as far as she knows , all that needed done was final technical touches ( probably signs ) and the final inspection by the DCNR . Apperently nothing we could really help with .

Wow that's completely different than what I was told the individual I talked to said the trail itself wasn't even constructed lol I guess when its open its open thanks for the additional info

Typical Govt. offices . Talk to 3 different officials and get 3 different answers .

Thanks for the update though . That is great news.....

Hope it's for real this time! Thanks for the update, fellas.

what kind of riding is this area?
similar to tri county?

Great riding at both BS and SSRT.
SSRT takes a number of trips to truly grasp the vast layout. A lot of the best stuff is not mapped and the trails just go everywhere. We find something new every time we go. You can also ride to a lot of food joints and watering holes right off the trails.

I'd say Tri-co is more groomed and maintained and you always know where you are on the map.

I think the volunteer aspect was in regards to trail maintenance, which is exactly what I was thinking. There are more than enough riders who would gladly lend a hand to fix trails. (Hoping to do this at Michaux..either than or accidentally drive a skid loader down the trails)
