Rode the main Allaire trails for the first time in a very long time yesterday. It was very empty. Guess some people don't reciprocate with a smile/wave/hello when passing on the trails. After reading the last several pages of this thread, will stay in the WMA and Brisbane areas where there are fewer people and problems.
Allaire is a weird park. Lot can be full-to-bursting, and once you're a mile away from the lot (or not at the sandpit/parkway), you won't see anyone...or might see someone pass far off on another trail. I've encountered only 1 large group in the last year, and due to the layout of the park, it's easy to bug out of a passing situation (except maybe once you're on Sherwood, Tiger Woods, or Glass).
The WMA and Brisbane will be covered in ticks/chiggers shortly. During the summer, not much maintenance happens in those areas because of them (among other reasons). I'll cut smaller deadfall (2-3"), but that's about it. BIG stuff typically gets re-routed.
On topic: two problem corners remain over the last few months: the teeny-tiny creek crossing next to the car needs armoring/total rebuild. The driest I ever saw it was last week when it was only slightly muddy, instead of a straight mess. The other is right past the airplane field where the trail overlooks the treatment plant/river trail downhill--there is a corner that has been holding chronic water, that looks like it could be fixed with a drainage knick and a little bit of rock.
Toboggan has a berm that is getting horribly cut, but I'm not sure much can be done about it. Hurts more since it was recently rebuilt, is all.
I erroneously reported that the boardwalk was removed from the river trail. It seems someone moved it(?) closer to the road over a dip that didn't need it? Not sure of the logic here, but I rolled passed someone the other day who was gingerly shimmying over the decrepit loading ramp. Not sure that's a good look.
