Our sister event, the Western States Endurance Run published the following report on the impacts to the trail:
Mosquito Fire Assessment – WSER
Craig Thornley (WSER Run Director) and John Catts (our shared trail liaison with the WSER, USFS and ASRA… really, all things trail) hiked the burn earlier this week.
Note that because the WSER route varies slightly from ours, the mileages mentioned in this report differ from those on the Tevis Cup route.
Cliff notes:
- The Last Chance Townsite was not burned
- Pacific Slab Bridge was not affected
- The Swinging Bridge was unburned
- The Deadwood Pump is fully operational
- The El Dorado Creek bridge was unburned
- Homes in the center of Michigan Bluff survived
