Why Oregon Trail Reserve dries this way
Oregon Trail Reserve (Boise, ID) rides on loam soil that drains well over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. With little tree cover, sun and wind get to the dirt fast. Loam reads that exact ground against live weather, rather than leaning on a regional forecast that can’t tell you what the dirt is doing. The NE-facing aspect keeps the dirt shaded for much of the day, so moisture lingers after rain and snow is slow to clear, and the gentle terrain, about a 3.3° average grade at 2,976 ft, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm.
