The Fairbanks Creek Road Plowed

The Fairbanks Creek Road has been plowed. They plowed a turnaround at the Circle Trail Head. You should be able to turn around and then park on one side of the road.

Any way around it? From the ski land area?
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

I went to use what you call Margaret's trail (I think, down the west side of the steese) but found its wasn't broke out. You don't use that anymore?

We haven't this year. It needs quite a bit of snow to cover up the tailings at the bottom and it isn't wide enough to run the groomer on it. It would be nice to have it now that the Fairbanks Creek Road is plowed. If someone was to break it out it would advisable to go in from the Chatanika end first to make sure you can get through the tailings and the overflow on LuLu Creek.
