Flaming Geyser State Park — Sunday, Feb. 14, 2010

Had to park in the (almost full) parking lot next to the model-aircraft area as the road to the picnic area was closed. From there we followed the loop described in the "60 Hikes within 60 Miles" book. Encountered few people inside the park. The trail was a bit muddy in a few places, and there were a few small blowdowns, and one washout (lower Cristy Creek crossing). While walking through the forest on the way back, we were startled by a loud-speaker announcing the park closure "in 25 min" (i.e. sunset). Not an empty threat -- saw the ranger who had come to close the park gate on the way out.
