I was able to visit the last few targets on the northern side of Stevens this evening. Tilcon lake trail. Vistar. Upper mulch pit. Mulch pit. And a few tuneups. As far as I know, Stevens is all caught up!!. If you find anything new, lmk!!. Thanks! In the meantime, focus shifts to Allamuchy North and a few stragglers elsewhere.
I know of one decent size tree (sorry, no pics - 18" saw probably good) halfway up Earthworm. If you park at the Earthworm lot off Waterloo Rd, it's only a 5-10 minute uphill walk.

even though I don't ride MTB as much as I want to, just a word of thanks for all the work you put in here.
This is timely as this coming weekend there will certainly be a lot of riding happening at this place on both days; hopefully Sunday I will be there too.

Thx. Yesterday I hacked a small blowdown right at the entrance to the trail, 10 feet from the lot, but ran out of time to get the one you're talking about.
Thank you for doing this. Very much appreciated.

Thx again for all the kind words. It's grown beyond a hobby, now a bit of an obsession.. I not only like doing it but I also enjoy the workout. It's sure getting me out and about on the bike, Sometimes improving my knowledge of the trail system. Adventure with a purpose.
Sometimes I have to remember to break away from it too. I actually went on a 17.5 mi ride today too in Stephens! Like for pure fun...Without the chainsaw! Lol. We still ran into one blowdown on green somewhere which we hand sawed out. (The "big boy" Silky saw lives in my regular pack). This was a target that I didn't have an exact location on, and couldn't find on a prior mission. *Now* all caught up!

Hiked in from the RR Xing up "Middle maze" to remove this one this evening. Thank to Dennis K for the assist. Expect a little down time on the chainsawing ops while I have my knee fixed. I'm hoping I'll be back at it in about a month or so? In the meantime please keep the great Intel coming, it'll be eventually caught up with or taken care of by the other chainsaw fairies.
(At least in the mazes) Things seem to be in pretty good shape for biking as long as you hit it when things are frozen and not too soft.

We got a few of them on Friday, but didn't have time for this one.
We took care of it today.
