[Patrick]

I was going to do a screen recording of a real-time report.
Should help everyone.

When does first semester begin to learned 🙂

This is an easy and helpful way to acknowledge where trouble spots exists

JORBA members get 30% off Trail Forks initial sign up and 15% off renewals. Excellent benefit of membership.

Do you need to have a Trailforks membership to submit a report that would be useful to the trail maintenance crews? How do the crews access the reports? I'm just trying to understand how these locations and conditions are communicated.

Nope, free members can submit reports all the same. It's all publicly posted...you can go on the map now and see reports outstanding. On the sidebar on this thread if you click one of the Orange icon trails, then to go to reports you see all the outstanding issues that exist.

Planning on clearing any of those that are old issues as well so we know exactly what is currently present in the park.

I entered via the Saxton Falls access and did a loop that covered the "White Rumbly climb" (to get the one at the bottom of Hally Toe, and another just beyond it) , then out to the one near Sunset, then back to the "unmaintained sandy rubbled woods road", White (to clear a bonus blowdown and the one at the top of Tally Ho), and finished with a sweep of "Pots N Pans". Attached a screenshot of the issues cleared (red waypoints).

I wanted to get to the last two known stragglers in the park (one on "Round the Firetower" and one on the "Morris Canal Greenway") but my aching knee had other plans.

I saw this tree as well. It crosses the trail in 3 places near the bottom of Hally Toe

I suspect I'm gonna have to revisit this. I cleared what I saw at the very bottom of Hally To. Did not notice it crossing the trail elsewhere. And I didn't actually traverse Hally toe. After I cleared what I saw, I just proceeded up the rubbly climb to chase after other stuff.

Please let me know if Hally toe needs a little more help.

It crossed the next two switch backs at the bottom of halley toe just above the one you cleared.

I did another round at Stephens today to finish up. I started at Firetower road to access a big one on "Round the Firetower'. (See pics below). Then from Saxton Falls, I revisited the bottom of Hally Toe to get parts B & C of the tree that I didn't fully clear yesterday. Felt a bit like an idiot for not figuring that out the first time. LOL . Then from Continental drive, I got a few along "Morris Canal Greenway". Happy to say "all caught up" with known issues in Stephens...
