The blockage on Hally toe reported by @de00304 was cleared this morning. Thx for the Intel! I've seen a few pics of other downed trees in Stephens, but no locations. Please be on the lookout.

Here are the couple I spotted on White last night, fairly close together. There were some more smaller ones just below Pots N Pans too but I did not get locations for those

Completely clear of downed trees on this route yesterday, couple small ones we were able to drag off trail. Park could use some rain, everything is very very dry. Hard to do any TM with moondust. Hoping to get something planned for early November on Pots and Pans.

The pair of blowdowns on white reported by @BuzzBomber in post #1684 just above, have been cleared today. Thanks for the intel!

Tree down on the golden Trail there’s also at least two active ground hornets nests and a widowmaker tree leaning on golden I don’t have locations of those as I was racing to get away… been here a couple hours haven’t seen anything else of interest. I’ll post if there’s anything else as I go along
Conditions good just starting to rain now

And I forgot there’s a controlled burn going on next to Kinney lot but I was ok to park I don’t think it effects anything

Bill and I went into Stephen's today and cleared all the trees in Post #1,688. The one on Tipi Rock was gone before we got there, but there were (3) trees down (one large one) all in the same spot on Long Way Round. We worked on the large root ball to make it a passable feature. We left the widow maker from post #1,689 above, but did clear the other tree on Golden Trail. As we were traveling to known targets between Stephen's and DP we came across several other blowdowns from this week's storm, and ultimately we cleared about 8-10 trees today.

These two were also removed if anyone was tracking:

Here's the location for the widow maker referred to above (I saved that one for Ed). We also had to haul ass past one of those ground hornet nests.
