haven't been much on the social medias lately, been really absorbed in building and flying high power drones and being a general menace to society.
forget wolfes pond. ive taken bigger, more interesting shits than the trails in that area.
it makes for a more interesting place to run, hike, or shoot up. there is some old growth forest there still if you're into that.
there is a lot of riding to be had on SI, but for the most part the stuff worth riding (imo) is infact "not allowed".
that being said, ive never had an interaction with a local ranger that wasn't positive, dog walkers with their poorly trained anklebiters however are a different story.
that is until they see that shit in pouch. i know who created that picnic table situation and they're good people, but there's not a lot going on there this time of year. as soon as it starts warming up, someones gonna see that shit and i expect a reaction from someone about it.

trails here don't have cool names like pierced nipple or tubular testicles, we just go by the color of the blaze here, certain features and sections have names which you'll hear locals using if you see other humans, like: "moses mountain" ,"heart attack hill", or "bootcamp"
when there are no humans to interact with (which is most of the time, people don't go outside here), and your focus is more on the trail and its conditions the current and recent weather very radically effect the trails here, and it varies from one area to the next.
trails north of high rock park (in general) drain better, and are generally more difficult, steeper trails. one trail crosses the highest point on the eastern seaboard south of maine. this is also where you have the highest percentage chance of seeing humans. on the weekend is the only time you'll see anyone and this area is ground zero.
everything else, not so much. white trail nearest to the carousel drain the worst, followed by areas by the airfield on the yellow trail
if you've ridden at hartshorne and huber, imagine that exact terrain, just dialed down in intensity from like a 7 to a 4
in the winter this whole island is a shitshow.
your car will get raped by weaponized levels of rock salt
your bike will have every orifice and crease ruthlessly stuffed to the gills with detritus and some of that weaponized rock salt
your clothes will never look the same again
your extremities will be soaking wet and numb as frozen chicken feet
come on out, its great.
oh also everyone here is an asshole, they're even worse when they're driving.
