Wow...12 + miles + trail maintenance! You a workin dawg! If yer lookin for a good saw, I got this one and recommend it.Second dirt on the new bike - bolted from work a little early again and headed to 6mr. As @clarkenstein posted yesterday, the erosion and rutting is really bad - especially on blue in the field from the canal lot, red going to canal road, and some of white. Very deep gullies down the middle of the trails - gonna take a lot of digging to fix - hopefully @jdog schedules some sessions - he will need lots of help. Didn't venture across s. middlebush. First stopped to take out the tree Dave mentioned before the concrete bridge - there were three branches, the first one wasn't too bad, the second was a real workout, especially with my crappy saw (gotta get a better one)
Finally cleared
Met Steve in the Jock's lot and talked a few minutes, then to canal road, turned around and did a shorter loop in the opposite direction. Stopped at the missing bridge at Blackwells mills road
Btw there's a little board across the water to the left in this pic so you don't have to go out to the road and end up as roadkill. Figured the bridge had to be somewhere down stream so took a look - about 150 yds or so it was in the middle of the flood plain (for some reason my phone decided to take a black and white pic) - it's in one piece and relatively unscathed - just went for a swim I guess
At the end, a pic with my new camobak and camo gear bag for @KenS and @Mumonkan - my next bike will have to be a camo fatty

Its nice to see evidence that 6MR can actually be ridden. Nice job clearing the deadfall! That's hard work with a hand-saw. Sucks about that bridge.
