Hope this helps...
#1 about when does it dry out?
I'm sure the section of the CT from Little Skraggy parking lot (pay lot) out to Chair Rocks is dry right now. A few of the other trails are probably dry as well but I would give another two weeks, at least, of the type of weather we are having now to make sure everything is pretty dry.
#2 sandy wash drops you onto buffalo creek rd and if you keep going towards buffalo creek town it starts off again, where does it go?? its not on my maps.
I'm assuming that you are riding Sandy Wash from Homestead heading toward the town of BC. If that's the case, once you hit road 543 and continue riding towards town, about 3/4 of a mile you come to a sign post that says Sandy Wash. If we're talking the same thing, that's is just an extension of Sandy Wash that continues from the main trail you were on. It goes about 3/4 of a mile down to the sign post and ends at the road. So where you are dropping down off SW to the road now, stop and look to the left before you drop down to the road. You will see where the trail continues. Better yet, ride it up from the sign post and you'll figure it out.
#3 where is the chair secret trail?
I think you're refering to the "Chair Rocks Secret Trail". As far as I know, there is no secret trail. Maybe folks are confusing it with the trail that goes out to Chair Rocks from the old Top of The World road. It's very overgrown so some might think it's a secret trail. You can either ride the old double track or the faint single track out to Chair Rocks. Either way, it's only about 1/2 mile in length. If you want more info on trail location, etc., e-mail me direct at

#4 whats the best map of the area, i have 2 and both seem a little inaccurate, or should i just assume i know it better than the maps (hard to believe that could be possibly)
The best and most current map that I know of is the one that we (the Front Range Mountain Bike Patrol) and the Forest Service put together every year and hand out free to any that wants one. I think if you stop by the FS office that is on Goddard Ranch Road about 6 miles up 285 from C-470, on the left side, they might be able to scare you up a copy. Or better yet, come join our patrol and have fun riding BC, give something back to the sport and reap a few benefits along the way. This will be our 8th season patrnering up with the FS to help the BC trail users. My e-mail address is above if you're interested.
Have fun and hope to see you out on the trails.
