Funny, I rode thru there saturday morning and it was overgrown...So I decided to do a hike there with the family in the afternoon...brought my clippers...oh shit everything is done already Thanks Norm

Btw, the stream crossing by the landscaping place/bat cave parking lot on light blue is unreal, have never seen it that bad.

A red blinky light was found near the bat cave. Post up if you lost one.

 

[Norm]

You should do the thing where they have to describe it.

It’s red.
It blinks.

Did I win?

 

[JimN]

Did I win?

Yes, pickup available at the bat cave today at 5:30pm.

Man, Blue was still a standing river last night and there was a tree down (all near bat cave). I busted the tree up and opened up the stream path and drainage pipe at the wooden bridge.

On Banana Seat Hammock I popped a rock out of the stream bed to allow debris to flow freely and cleared up the small pool almost immediately.

New way down is still pretty moist at the bottom.

 

[graveyardman67]

There is a tree down at the very top of New Way Down (Red trail) from Hawk Watch

 

[JimN]

The flooded section of Beach Glen is no longer flooded. Not sure if anyone did anything, or if it just finally had time to drain. It's still kind of a mess by the bridge, so I assume the latter.

Has anyone noticed all the glass on the last section of yellow that runs parallel with upper Hibernia rd to the fire road that goes to up to hawkwatch? It seems like some literally sprinkled the entire stretch of trail with broken glass.

Yeah, bunch of savages in this town.

Whoever did that went through a lot trouble. It’s a lot of glass.

This key was found in the bat cave lot and is now on top of the map/kiosk frame.

That glass has been there for a looooong time. People used to dump there garbage up there In The 70’s and early 80’s. Just left over

I have noticed it and it has seemed to increase over the past few months. Can’t imagine it all just came to the surface recently.

I haven’t been there in over a month but as I remember it seemed excessive, I hadn’t noticed it before. Like trail sabotage. In related news there was thumb tacks on the Leadville course.

Joking aside, the rain we've been getting I wouldn't be surprised if this was all old crap. Rain has been coming down faster than it can be taken in washing away loose soil in the run off. Maybe this stuff was under a layer of leafs

 

[trailhead]

old glass as previously stated,. There was a town up there at one time. Motorcycles have been using the trails and on the Wednesday ride it appeared to me some of it is getting tilled up by them. Let it be a reminder all the plastic the world is now wallowing in.

Meriden Trail (aka New way down) was blocked but now clear. Thanks for the notifications.....5 out of the last 7 days on trail to deliver the best. Lots of sweat, dirt and spiderwebs!

Rode from Bat Cave this morning up orange, yellow, Oreland, hawkwatch, and everything was tacky goodness. Thanks for the recent trail work!
