Illegal Campsite/Campfire at Fleish Bridge In this time of extreme fire danger, you would think everyone knew NOT to have campfires in the forest. Also, our permission to cross TMWA’s property with the trail specifically excludes camping. Please pass this on to anyone with visions of camping along the trail. If you see an illegal campsite, please report it to the controlling organization of that site (law enforcement, TMWA), or use the Tahoe-Pyramid Trail "Report Trail Issues" form: https://tahoepyramidtrail.org/report-trail-conditions/ - Let's keep the trail fire safe!
Parking at Farad Blocked The few parking places at Farad have been blocked by Caltrans construction materials. There are pullouts on eastbound I-80 nearby, or Floriston has ample parking.

This month's volunteer: Megg Mueller
I've been creating the monthly newsletter for TPT since 2019. I attended the annual kickoff event that year, and was inspired to help promote this incredible trail anyway I could. I'm a journalist, so when looking over the ways I could help, this was a great fit. I was born in Reno and when I learned about TPT's mission to share the Truckee River's beauty via this trail I was hooked. I'm a hiker and a mountain biker, and while I haven't ridden every mile of TPT, I have covered the lion's share. My day job is as publisher/editor of Nevada Magazine, and I get so excited when telling my readers about this world-class trail that will one day run between my two favorite lakes. My tasks take just a few hours a month and I encourage anyone wanting to help to get in touch with Janet...there are so many things that can be done to help, and most don't take much time.
