1st Tuesday Fun hike: Moose Creek Bluff
When: Every 1st Tuesday,? 6:30-8:30PM
Where: Meet at the parking area at the base of the bluff. From Fairbanks head south on the Richardson, through North Pole and over the flood control bridge, just after crossing the railroad tracks look for a turn off to the left. The bluff is a large cliff with graffiti all over it.
This moderate hike is about 2 hours and goes through forested areas over the bluff with some great views. Dog and kid friendly. There may be bugs, so bring your favorite Alaskan perfume. Parts of the trail can be muddy so plan foot wear accordingly.

rain jacket left at Wickersham
Hey all I've also posted this to the FB page, but thought some folks don't do FB. Today a few of us hiked to get the Trails Challenge sign on Wickersham, and then started up the summit trail. We took the first social trail that heads up the hill, up to the first rocky outcrop on the summit ridge. Since it was foggy and windy up there, we decided to go back down and pick berries instead of summiting. So the jacket is somewhere between the trailhead, the first peak along the ridge, or in the shrubs along the trail.?
It's a Zpacks Vertice blue jacket, attaching a photo. I hope someone finds it and I can get it back! Such a nice jacket.?
Happy hiking y'all! Karen Jensen

Re: Two Rivers Woodcutting Road
We ran out of time so didn¡¯t get that sign. However we did try on a rainy day. The road was a slippery mess and I got stuck. Not recommended when it¡¯s wet. Otherwise, it¡¯s a narrow road and not too bad, rough in spots. Go slow and you should be fine.?
I am also very interested in the condition of the woodcutting road. My husband and I tried it in a front-wheel-drive SUV on a rainy day and decided it was too dangerous for our vehicle.?
How was the mud on the road to the trailhead of the Mike Kelly Trail? On Jul 21, 2024, at 8:21?PM, Carol Lokken <clokken3@...> wrote:
