I did a search on Middle Fork by title, but couldn't find the information I needed. Also checked the Mtn Mercantile trail condition site, but I found it disconcerting that the section from Timpanogas to Paddy's Valley is not listed. So, I've got a couple of questions for you locals:
1. How is the section from Timpanogas to Paddy's? Is it worth riding? How bad is the "Big Swamp"?
2. We made some friends who offered to shuttle us up to ride MFT in its entirety. The big Oakridge Trailmap we have shows that Hwy 21 becomes FR 2153 and the pavement ends at one point. Is the road open all the way to that point? Is FR 353 (that goes almost to Timpanogas Lake) pretty easy to pedal or drive?
We are from California and had great fun riding the entire Alpine Trail today. (I was bummed that I missed the turn off to Tire Mtn because we were planning an out and back on that trail.) I hope tomorrow's MFT adventure will keep the thrill going.
