Flow is overrated, having said that both of those trails are awkward it takes
a few tries to get the moves right.
If you can they're kinda cool.

Found a few on a (fun) ride today. I was not equipped with a chainsaw though. We also did a few other smaller hand saw outs. The images are not in order. The big mess is on cascade/purple. The other two are smaller.

Sounds like you and I will have quite the saw mission soon! Earliest I’ll be able to get out is Monday after work. We’ll sync offline.
Cleared large BD on Stonegate today. Ended up being a pretty complicated cut that took an hour. Will get to BD’s reported above tomorrow or Friday.
Cleared the BD’s on Cascade and Pine Swamp. All known BD’s are clear in the park afaik. Keep those reports coming!
I took these ober a week ago and forgot to post them. The trees were still there on Saturday so i get to use my pictures. Lol. There is also a tree down on Black magic somewhere in the middle of it. No picture of it though. I was in survival mode there.😉

I did a loop at Mahlon yesterday. Here are the down trees i found. The big one on stonegate is still there as well. There is also a large tree down on the trail by the mine shaft/former trash dump site near Weldon rd off of red trail. That one has been there for at least a year.

These BD’s are cleared. Thanks so much for the report!
This big boy was cleared today. Thanks for the report!
Cleared the ones on Stonegate and Ghost late afternoon today but not the ones in the WMA. Thanks for the report.
FYI the one by mineshaft is technically a closed trail so not sawing there.
I wasn’t aware about the mineshaft trail. Thanks for letting me know. And thanks for clearing the trees!
Hello!
I was out at Mahlon yesterday from the park and ride. There's a tree down across sunset / more fun this way. See photo.
Then also there are a pair of smaller trees down across blue crescent but I didnt take a photo. It's toward the top in the good part right when you pick up speed if you are going down it towards sunset. One could get over it with some commitment but it could cost ya.
Otherwise the trails were 100% rideable with frozen grippy snow. We had some messy stuff overnight so it might be slick now.
My route was the WMA side out columbo's to the main lot. Took yellow, went reverse yellow re-route then back up yellow over to the mine across the street and down BLUE (now red) then back over to the WMA and out crescent. It was all in good shape!
