    Until conditions get well above freezing during the day... for multiple days it will continue to be a crunch fest- "slip'n slide". Hopefully it will settle and pack down.

    Al, I posted the TM work and images on Trail Forks. Good call on the weather! Yes, winter is the best time to cut back the margins. Cooler, no leaves or bugs and you can see what needs to be cut back and how far. Previously we never did any TM in Dec, Jan or Feb. Weather and trail surface...

    Got out today between rain showers. Cleared the overhang mess on Orange Trail. There is another "hang over" on Orange that I was able to partially clear so that it is not over the trail bed. It will need to be addressed at a later date! TAS

    Al, More than likely the park tree crew will clear that one as it's near the camping area. I'll check tomorrow. I will need to ride off the turkey meal! TAS

    Trees on Blue and Orange have been remediated! Went old school and used the Katana....What a nice afternoon for a walk in the forest. The one on orange took awhile as it was covered in thorns! Logs in images have been removed from the trail bed. TAS
