Main trail is blocked by impassable rock on Andy’s ridge. There is a “side” trail around you can make it but may want a chain saw. Would not do trail with out a winch if you’re by your self. A lot of the Creek crossings are washed out. Also has lot of dead ends because of the fallen trees. This is NO LONGER A GREEN trail!

Trail is blocked at or near the top of the hill climb on Andy’s Ridge. Purposefully block with dirt, rocks and trees.
