That's High Mt?

No. The trails off the Saddle River bike path 😅. Essentially the complete opposite of High Mountain

Man... the bugs were out in full force today.

Encountered a coyote on ancients while heading down towards the water tower from orange double track on sunday, was not overly agressive but was barking at me quite a bit, may be taking up residence there or guarding a den of pups, stay alert out there.

I saw 2 pups and then the mother a ways down the trail on Friday (also ancients)

They've been there for a couple years now. Never had a problem with them. Although at first it is a bit unnerving.

8/29 Conditions were stellar. Moist dirt and dry rocks! Really neat rock obstacle on Wolf! Enjoy some rocky goodness.

More pics of some of your favorite trails to come. Yes cleaned then took photos. I enjoy that trail when I go to the circle to start a ride. Some survey markings on the wall? Don't know what it is about. Hope it is not the bat shutdown area! Enjoy your pictures of the amazing countryside! You getting your 6 mile tan from the red clay dirt!

Surprisingly there's good traction where the snow is covering the trail. Crunchy goodness! Going downhill was interesting but fun. If you're up for an interesting ride, go for it. I believe you'll have a decent time. 👍

HMP looked good today - mostly dry with avoidable wet patches. Stayed mostly in the middle so lower places might still be a mess.

Tree down on Ancients near the Orange trail

The pond is almost dried up.

Cleared the spider 🕷 webs, left this one on the endurance loop

That’s crazy, that was completely full on 7/3. We need rain!

The water usually covers the rocks along the dam!

The mountain needs some rain for sure.
