Mud slides in Eastern WA? Affect any trail heads?

For those headed into Colchuck Lake, North side of Stuart, etc, this will make the approach to Mountaineers Creek trailhead longer as one will have to walk the road starting from Eightmile campground.

I guess this would put a person..."up a creek"... sorry...

I would say so for those folks trapped by the slide. I suspect that might be an incentive to clean up the mess quickly.

Nope. I was there that day which we were able to get all the way to the trailhead no problem.
