Thinking of hitting here for the first time tomorrow. Condition status and some tips would be much appreciated.
I was there today too! It was perfect conditions.Did the loop and conditions were great!
My guess is not well. West point had major flooding. Yes the otherside of the hill but 8 inches of rain fell up int hay area yesterdayAfter this rain checking on current conditions?
The park held up real well to the storm. No damage. A few places on the new section of Redback can use some work. Overall you really can’t tell that is rained hard just 3 days ago.
My pail has about 3.75 inches of water in it.
Blueberries are ripe

Don't forget to bring enough of...I'm trail marking tomorrow. Will have my silky if needed.
While you’re out there, can you put up a few blazes for me? 😁I'm trail marking tomorrow. Will have my silky if needed.
I had my silky out quite a bit today. Most of the time it was cleaning up low hanging witch hazel that people had broken/twisted around. I walked from Laurel Meadow, Augusta mine, then CW around to the road that cuts between ME and Redback. Then up Redback and down the new section back to Laurel Mwadows. So you should find that part of the trail in good shape. I had my hand mower also. I beat up the under growth at the power line and went hard on the multiflora rose/barberry wherever I saw it.I'm trail marking tomorrow. Will have my silky if needed.

I could be available after 1pm, I have a brand new chain on the chainsaw waiting for some action. JORBA certified. Never been to Sterling though, how far is this from the parking lot ? You planning to be there?Cleared what I could with silky.
Any chance of getting there with something bigger tomorrow?
