8/12 Storm Reports

[Patrick]

Hopefully everyone is ok this morning.

Given the number of branches on the ground in Branchburg (yeah, i know)
I suspect Nassau, RV/Cush, CR, Sourlands, 6MR took a hit. Probably the tow paths too.
Not sure about MCP, Baldpate, Water Co., PA locations.

I'll have a bit of time each morning this week to do some clean-up.
I know a few others will jump-in.

Coordinate here -

My niece is on her way to SMP - going to attempt an outside loop.

The D&R Canal trail was in relatively good shape earlier today. I went from the Bound Brook parking lot to the New Brunswick terminus (and back). The path was for the most part perfectly dry. There were two places requiring a little trail maintenance, which I cleared. The "before/after" photos below show the second spot (with another generous rider who kindly offered his assistance):

I have a map of some trees down at smp. Will post soon. I'm going to swing by the concrete bridge @ 6mr in the morning.

Lower loop of Cush from the railroad lot is clear. Nothing required a saw.

The trails between Summit and Westfield sustained heavy tree damage on the NW facing slopes especially. A few trails and fireroad are blocked and quite a few branches were down everywhere Sunday morning.
