Thanks. Im give the farm a chance to do it for us. I'll probably head out later Saturday after the rain to clear some of those blowdowns instead.

Hmm you gave me an idea. I have a friend who knows the tranquility farm people very well. Those corn fields are theirs so they have a common interest. Their entry road is right across from the trailhead road. I contacted my friend. He told me he is gonna let them know. They can get a...

Thanks. No worries. Today was last minute. I'm planning to be there at 9 on Saturday if your bored but dont worry about it. Hoping i can put 4 or 5 wraps of chain on it and roll it off the road with my truck up in the field vs the saw.

Left work early to try to get the last 45 min of daylight and see what i could do with the tree @FrankR reported on the road in to the tranquility trail head. Progress made but round 1 goes to the tree. Those rounds were so friggin heavy my back convinced me to go immediately to buy beer...

Thanks. I should be able to start getting out again for trees next weekend...possibly after work this week. I rode around yesterday and today without the saw. Pulled a bunch of deadfalls off the trail. One pretty large but barely moveable one on cardiac bypass. Finding mostly a lot of...

your help is awesome. Thanks so much.

@chainsawer there are 3 legs to it such that you had to pick your bike over the first then go under & over the next 2. 12- 16" diameter

Sorry i didnt get a pic. Everyone kept going and my phone was buried in my pack.

Candy Ass Update. I just went through and cleared 5 trees. A few weeks ago it was given a brush back by Tim Pierce the new Allamuchy North Jorba lead. I can tell you that as of today that was absolutely the easiest to follow I've seen since I started keeping tabs on this trail. All dirt...

Its clear. I'd ask if you could check the transition at the bottom and adjust as you see fit. I barely had time tonight to make it through candy ass and clear that which was my primary goal so I didn't put any time into trying to clean up the bottom. Apologies for the delay. To be honest...

@chainsawer i can get this tomorrow after work if you have not already done this. Sorry for the delay

They have been slowly moving down the rail trail from andover since last year ....taking down ash trees is my understanding. They had just been on the north side of north shore road on 206 and that just opened back up last weekso they are probably on the stretch from south shore road to waterloo.

Followed the red line with a weedwacker and chainsaw. Got 3 trees and cleared all brush. No before pics of the brush. Ran into @chainsawer who was heading for some trees further in the park.

I took a hike through today and remarked. I didn't have a lot of Flo Pink paint but I had enough to touch up all the missing marks and most faded ones. I'll go back through another time and hit it again with some more paint but you should be able to follow it now. For anyone looking for...

Thanks. I'll take a look. Since it was marked I'm not opposed to fixing it up a bit. There are a lot of trails unmarked in north and thats kind of the thing for those. Admittedly lumpy bumpy can be hard to follow, especially at the bottom toward the end.
