Not too bad. Dry with normal branch litter. Soft at the normal boggy areas, but less so than average.
Took a trip out to some downed trees
@KenS noted recently on the biyf thread. Hiked in with the trail pack, and perhaps a bit more confidence then I should have had.
Big ass tree
This thing is near 2' diameter. Pretty soft on the outside, but well beyond my 17" saw. Wasn't even going to bother with the axe. Even if I managed to cut it, there was no way to move it. There was a go-around forming to the right that was a bit higher and more firm, so clipped the path clear and roughed in the line.
After that they got smaller.
Couple of logs that were down were pretty dense, so I left the more or less alone besides trimming off any nubs that may snag a wheel.
Notched this one a little, but it was saw was having a hard time. Only maybe 3/4" of additional clearance to help clear the diagonal.
Cleared out one log from this close spaced set, cut off the "y" branch on the other, cleaned up a couple stubs, and cut the break off the stump to make it a little safer. Ideally would've just cut the stump low, but was getting late and was tough to cut.
Sunlight was fading fast at this point, so called it and hiked out. One last side note was that it appears that someone is out marking lines. Didn't see anything rogue opened where I went, but found this one old line closed. Was an option around a tricky log over, but the log is pretty rotted now so doesn't particularly matter.
