Bridge on Land of the Lost still submerged.
These now gone. Thanks again MadisonDan for the most excellent intel. Textbook example of what helps me the most! An accurate location of the issue, and a pic of what I'm dealing with. Leads to minimal messing around on my part...I can pick the best way to navigate right to it, and I knew enough from the pic to bring the bigger saw.

I was also near the ranger station today, to get two on Red and one on Orange, all very close to the parking lot. 3rd stop today was for a messy one in Deer Park. Thanks to Dennis K for the assistance on all of the above..

That's it for my chainsawing work this weekend. I'm in a 2-day US Forestry Chainsaw Certification class up in NY. Much thanks to the NY/NJ Trail Conference for the invitation extension to a JORBA Sawyer. Local work to resume after work next week, as time and weather allows.

General status: There's some stragglers left in Stephens, Deer Park, and Dickerson Mine, but I'd say like 95% completion level in all 3 parks. All clear in Mahlon Dickerson (proper). Allamuchy North is where I'm tracking the most stuff right now, but my intel is pretty sketchy. My Allamuchy North waypoint map looks like a teenager's face with really bad Acne! LOL

These 2 stragglers now gone on the "Canal Lower to Continental Trail"...thanks to Karl W for the assist. Very near the Tilcon Crossover area. This actually completes all of the known targets in Stephens (for the moment anyway). Focus is now on Allamuchy North.
