Conditions were great yesterday... The little hill going down to the water crossing has been cleared for the new bridge... Going thru it is like cutting thru a construction zones backfill minus the debris... It was complete overkill by any trail users standards... Maybe they are going to bring the bridge down sideways😕... After all there is now 20-30 feet of clearing for it to get down to the stream

I saw that. It was a sad sight. All that work on the trail and drain for nothing.

Be careful what you wish for🙁
Getting through that bit of water, any season during the year added to the expierence. Just my .02

we are a fickle bunch.
in the winter, we'll be singing its praises.

my thoughts exactly. With the way that brush grow at six mile, if we keep getting rain, that area will be covered by the end of August.

Yes, nature will reclaim the space pretty quickly if left alone to do so.
I've mentioned it recently, but the poison ivy at 6 Mile, especially in the twisties, is freaking me out this year. Some of that shit looks like stuff from a science fiction movie.

no kidding! even with the warm temps we are in, i have been wearing long sleeve shirts when i'm at 6 mile no matter what the temp. two years ago i clipped a tree with a handlebar in the twisties and took a dive, landing on my forearm. i had a real bad case of PI from that, so when the leaves are out, i hide my arms now.

Well, there's always the first water crossing you can go through, instead of going around...

Conditions were perfect yesterday. Some wet spots.
Unfortunately, a wet root got the better of me and caused me to crash into a tree. Broke my collar bone, and destroyed my shoulder which requires a few screws and a ti plate... oh well, there goes my season.
