Hartshorne/Huber Conditions

[SAM]

It's at the intersection of Many Log Run and Meadow Run. Here's what it looked like on Feb 7.

Have to be honest, haven't been thru recently --I don't know what the symbolism is of these, what can anyone tell me?

 

[SAM]

Sometimes a brick tower is just a brick tower. There is a pile of loose bricks around the base. Looks to me like someone built a tower with the bricks. It would change slightly with time as people passing by would add bricks from all the loose ones around the base. The cross was added at Christmas.

I'm not sure if there is much symbolism involved but rather folks just wanting to express themselves and leave their mark.

The fact that someone toppled this jenga cairn is not too upsetting imo, it simply starts the process over again with a chance for more play time.

not to mention those bricks were probably just illegally dumped there in the first place - not some historical relic.

I was at hartshorne yesterday, we cleaned up more invasives in rocky point. The trails looked great! Go out and ride them.

The work clearing invasives in the lower middle of Grand Tour is massive. Huge area cleared. Needs to be repopulated with natives or the invasives will happen.

Thank you for noticing. The restoration of this area is ongoing, there is plans to seed with native grasses to restore the meadow area. We have a lot of plans for this area, stay tuned for volunteer opportunities.

What Bob said.

Rocky Point trail, Before

After

Working with staff and volunteers on Rocky Point trail. Clearing deadfall buried underneath invasives, then clearing invasives. This is now easier to maintain in the future.

Do you guys think Hartshorne will be decent enough to ride this afternoon?

 

[knobbyhead]

Yes it should be fine.

I plan on doing the loop this weekend starting from the new lot on Locust Ave. Laurel Ridge to Grand Tour to Rocky Point Which is more challenging, clock-wise or counter?

Do both, eh?

How challenging do you want it? Ride up Laurel Ridge and at the intersection make a left and go up Grand Tour and stay on it going CCW until you get to the "Gator".

Yeah, I saw those yesterday and told the park manager.

 

[tonyride]

Trails at Hartshorne is 99.9% dry... at least the parts I rode today are.

 

[TommyF]

Agree with above, we did just about 12 miles on Sunday and everything we rode was dry.
