How do we take the course @rustynutsMay 14th and June 4th will both be trail maintenance days at Hartshrone. You must have taken the park system training course before coming out to volunteer.
Just wanted to pass this along.
Any more courses coming up @rustynuts ?A course just passed I believe in March. When I see an email about another course offering I will post it up.

Yeah I noticed those as well this past weekend, the one that was cut out has(had) been there like a decadeSo, someone has been cutting logs that are totally rideable (2 on Rocky Point), but meanwhile the overgrowth is getting overly overgrown. Priorities!
Hopefully not that one that's been there 3 or 4 months. Had a shortcut to the right when going down hill. That was good training.So, someone has been cutting logs that are totally rideable (2 on Rocky Point), but meanwhile the overgrowth is getting overly overgrown. Priorities!
The bigger one (12-15")? That one's still there.Hopefully not that one that's been there 3 or 4 months. Had a shortcut to the right when going down hill. That was good training.
But they couldn't cut the one that's a jagged end that's half blocking the trail before the short loose up at the start of rocky point.So, someone has been cutting logs that are totally rideable (2 on Rocky Point), but meanwhile the overgrowth is getting overly overgrown. Priorities!
I suspect the log cutting is rogue action. Logs were messin' with their flow or Strava times.But they couldn't cut the one that's a jagged end that's half blocking the trail before the short loose up at the start of rocky point.
With the overgrowth taking over the trail I thought I was climbing Mont Ventoux!
There was a tree down on Rocky Point two or three weeks ago near the two logs that have been cut, so I think an over-zealous ranger may have taken them out when cleaning that up. It was disappointing to see them cut, since they've been there for years. [I remember it being a Sunday when the tree was down, and the logs were intact. When I went back later in the week - I think it was Thursday - the tree had been removed, and the two logs were cut.]I suspect the log cutting is rogue action.

Agreed...my arms are shredded from rocky point lower section yesterday morning. I'm glad they got to the begining of Huber by the parking lot...that was so.grown in...The overgrowth on Grand Tour and Rocky Point has reached a degree that I've never seen in this park. Never mind riding a bike, there are sections that aren't properly suitable for hiking at this point.
If the section at the bottom of the power lines (leading to Hartshorne Rd.) hadn't been trimmed earlier this summer, it would be utterly impassable now.
And don't get me started on the logs. If a ranger is responsible for cutting those logs on Rocky Point and leaving them as they are, I don't know what to say.
Weren't they working on a hiker only trail?Not much of a turnout from the MTB community today. Tsk, tsk.
