Went out there yesterday. The leaves were ankle deep in places and quite slippery. Be careful out there!

I had two wipeouts from the slipperiness and other people were reporting the same.

As an aside: I have always ridden shockabilly at the end because I assumed it was the more interesting/technical variation. This time around I rode the rock garden. After riding it once, it occured to me you guys may want to change the signs indicating the relative level of difficultly. I think the rock garden is quite a bit more difficult/technical than shockabilly in it's current eroded state. Might be worth warning people. Shockabilly never bothered me, but I was this ---><--- close to endoing on the rock garden.

I think the current sign says "Expert ->" pointing to Shock-o-billy and then "HARDER ->" with the arrow that points to the rock around.

I think it was changed to read that way this summer... at least that's when I noticed it and had a good laugh.

Actually as of a few weeks ago it said Expert pointing to SOB and More Difficult pointing to the deadly storm run-off, I mean rock garden.

More Difficult to me meant more difficult than usual, but not Expert. I agree it should be renamed although I will never make that mistake again.
