I want to send a big THANK YOU to
@Fat Trout for busting his a$$ today on Candy Ass. It looks as if he single handily resurrected one of Allamuchy's best trails before it was too late.
"I hiked Candy Ass today top to bottom with a rake, clippers and hand saws. I put about 5 hours into it. I didn't really mean to be out there that long but that's what it took me to get to the bottom. Its rideable now, it really wasn't rideable in the condition it was in. I cleared a ton of debris, raked a number of areas & clipped back a lot of stuff. It was hard to follow in some areas so I raked the leaves where I could. It could really use a string trimmer in some areas and to rake off more of the leaves. They are really thick. There was still one tree down 3/4 of the way through to the end but I didn't have the energy left to clear that. The last 200 ft before it hits purple is a mess with 2 trees down. Just needs a re-route to be raked out and some small saplings clipped. On the way up to the start I couldn't find where it came out. Now I know why."
My goal is to get out there and do my best to help finish what he started. Please get out and enjoy this gem. Riding it helps keep it alive.
Thank you again Sir!!!!
