Haven't been out since the storm. Was there weds, and there were at least a few trees primed to come down at any point so i'm sure something dropped. With all the stuff that was blown down all over the place down here there is likely to be a fair amount of trash around. If we avoid more rain though it may be fairly dry.

A good buddy of mine that I work with lives out that way and said it was hell getting around. Trees where across most of the roads, plus the wires.

Atlantic County, and parts of Cumberland and out, were hit hard by el derecho. :cry: There were still big trees down and detours near Estell today. Send us a ride report.

Coming back from the shore went by Estell, the park was locked up and shit was down all over. Maybe a new playground from what it might look like, that place was getting like a city park.

I know others park outside the gate there. I think Atlantic County might still be in a state of emergency as they're still working on downed trees and trying to restore power to a lot of people so keep that in mind.
The Artesian Well Rd gate and main park gate are closed. You can normally park outside the gate, the park has no problem with that. I havent been out to check trail conditons since i am still getting my house in order, but i am sure there are a ton of trees down back there.
Newer (maybe bigger & better
) logovers! woopwoop!Post up a date when ready and I'll bring some tools.

It is bad!
Went out at 6:00pm, there is wood down the trail were you are better off walking ( should of not been on the bike ). Some of the trees that are down looks like a 18 inch bar on the saw will do it but I think the park will not go for that. There is alot of work in there and I didn't even ride that much of the trail. As for a geared bike in there I wouldn't do that. A lot of overhangs that do not look good. I wished I had my bow saw in the truck and get on some of the smaller stuff on the trail or at lease start on some of it. Did move what I could but there is alot of big shit on the trail.

We routinely use a 3' monster crosscut (hand powered) saw. As long as enough people show up (to share saw duty) at Ken's next EMP trail work day, we might be able to clear some of that stuff off the trail.
TM date coming soon. Yep, we have some clearing to do, both undergrowth and fallen trees. My chainsaw hasnt played nice with me since cutting a big oak off of a neighbor's roof the other day, but the 2 person bucksawfromhell will make short work of a lot back there.
Is anyone available during the week over the next couple? My weekends are shot until later in the month.

I think you have to go see.
Some of the stuff that is down is as big as the wood I help my buddies cut out of the creeks we boat in ( whitewater kayak ). I'm not that good at all with a saw, let alone walking around on a big log cutting off of it. To me it seems there is a lot of work in there. I hope I'm wrong.

Might be able to help on Tuesday 7/10/12.
I can do this Monday 7/9, after 2:00pm and next Tuesday 7/17 in the AM. Can bring my bucksawfromhell and we still have sj_john's 2 man crosscut saw in the trailer... if a few more people show up. (Thanks John!)
