Inspecting the snow

Any preference for dates? I have Feb 28, Mar 1, or Mar 8 open.

Everyone is welcome. No experience necessary. You don't have to arrive at 8a or stay till noon I have some tools (Lopers, hand pruners, shovels, etc), if you have tools and want to bring them, feel free. Bring gloves and water. It will be a JORBA event, please sign the waiver in advance. You...

Honestly, I prefer cold for chainsawing. 90°F saps the strength out of me. 30°F would be fine🤣

Done. It’s only Gov. Murphy for another ~3.5 days. Let’s hope it gets lost in the shuffle.

I’m up for that. Pick a day and time. We’ll also need some others to help clear as we cut. I can send an email to everyone JORBA has trained if we think it’s that big of a project. I’m not local so we’ll need some recon.

Another roving sawyer was approved this week. I’m working on getting him the equipment now :) He’ll be a part of JORBA’s Chainsaw Corps in no time.

There’s another sawyer in the works. Could be ready later this month 😊

I had a couple less this year (19 vs 22), but a few more new spots :) Thanks to @pooriggy and the MTBNJ rides for getting me to those new places!

We only saw 2 people yesterday while doing TM. I think that's a bit of a win 😊

Rode lots of the park today. A few small puddles and a few big ones, but otherwise great! All puddles were avoidable.

Did some trail maintenance this morning. Trails are still too muddy to hike or ride. Please stay off the trails.

Thanks to @rjr44 and the NICA crew! We had 9 people today. Got lots of red cleared 😊

On for Saturday. Rain is in the afternoon. I’ve also got the hedge trimmer back from the repair shop.

Yep, we’re going to work on clearing and sight lines on Red east of the concrete bridge. Park at April Ln. With the ground soft/wet, we’ll do minimal digging if any. Even if it’s a little damp, we should be fine with the work we’re doing. https://maps.app.goo.gl/hc2qUdVxyyZco4hN8?g_st=ic
