Hey all,

 

The district received a report of a “booby trap” on Oso Corredor that resulted in a rider injuring their elbow. Apparently it was a “boulder covered in brush” which could be nothing but it also could’ve been intentionally set.

 

If possible please distribute to the trail community as a “watch out”. There have been instances in the past in which this type of thing has happened and resulted in a very serious injury. In some cases it’s an isolated incident and others it’s an ongoing problem. Either way, please keep a look out for anything and know there are a number of methods used in the past so it could take other forms such as wire stretched across trail, etc.

 

On the law enforcement side, this is a difficult one to deal with unless caught in the act but if you see anything suspicious, please let us know asap.

 

Thanks,
