Cannonball rock garden getting moved and smoothed

There is a short rock garden on Cannonball, south of the lake and north of the 287 bridge. I noticed the rocks are getting removed and moved to make it smoother and less technical. This part of the trail starts by a small stream and lasts about 75 feet going up towards the lake.

There is a resident sow in the area (she had cubs last year) but I doubt it is the bear looking for grubs under rocks because I don't think she would smooth over the area.

yes i saw the bear doing it...:rolleyes:

i noticed that last time I was there, it looked like a clean line (towards the left side). but i fcuked up the exit anyway :eek: Maybe it needs more rocks, it was just too easy....i'll throw some rocks back next time im there. :popcorn:

I haven't ridden over here in a while but I did notice some rocks dug up after you cross the stream on the new red trail (heading towards the school) & also on a little short PITA of an uphill towards the end of red, close to the fireroad. Clearly someone is trying to make it easier just by the location of rocks that are missing or maybe it's the bears. :hmmm:

I think you are talking about the other side of Skyline? This is more towards Haskell

And they're not strong technical riders, so they have moved some of the rocks to make it easier for themselves.

The last time I saw the sow, she was on a 26'er. That explains it.

I bet someone was embarrassed that they couldn't ride it and dressed up in a bear suit and moved the rocks so that if someone came by they couldn't be identified. However imagine if that person got shot this week because of the bear hunt. Man that would be crazy.

that reminds me of a little rascals episode. does anyone remember the little rascals episode when the guy dresses up like a bear to scare them and the kids shoot him in the ass with arrows.
