A friend sent me this off one of his toyota forums....if things don't change another trail will be locked down thanks to a few bad apples.

"Effective Immediately
The mud hole is CLOSED to vehicular traffic of any kind. Period. End of story.
All vehicles must travel to the left of the mud hole on the trail that goes around.
The reason is a 5 gallon oil container (probably gas) that someone left floating in the water.
The town will close the trail immediately if there is any further traffic there."
