trail map

the white trail at the bottom is really fun, too. there's an old dirt bike track back there that's super fast and a real blast

I went back to Thompson today for my second time. I still can't find the white trail. I was right there by the baseball diamond like on the map. I looked everywhere! Is there a trail head?
 
to the right of the field, there's a clearing in the woods... you'll see what looks like an obstacle course. if you make a right into the course, go about 15 feet inward and turn left, you'll go along the trip wire looking obstacles and see a white dot on a tree hidden behind some brush... it's a pain in the ass

what trails did you take? did you enjoy the ride? :D

Silly question, I always enjoy my ride. ;)

I guess it's not used much? I saw the trip wires so I was right there but didn't see anything that looked like a trail head, I'll go in deeper next time. Thanks!

We rode pretty much everything in both directions :)

looks like a very nice loop. so you started off in the middle by the spring, eh? i'm not a huge fan of that fire road with the washouts and all... it's like riding down a giant staircase... but one of your first points to hit is my favorite spot... the back side of the blue trail :) i love that downhill and the climb right after. I'm also a huge fan of riding the red trail in both directions, as you did. after blue crosses over red is fun aside from having to walk up the side of the hill via the staircase... i just took that trail the other day for the first time, in fact. going sunday if you want to join! probably around 4 :)
