How were the dead falls?
Mooch had a lot of new. We tackled what we could move but definitely a spike of new stuff all over.

We started at the school and just did the white trail/outer loop. One tree down on the trail that connects road to yellow... otherwise it was fine. I will update/post on TF.
I got in and cleaned up a good chunk of brushback yesterday, today I rode everything I could and found only one tree blocker.
@chainsawer this is on an old OG trail that @Fat Trout and i opened back up last year.
It's between the ranger house and white/teal. If you can't in next day or 2 Kevin or I will get to it. Still a bunch of brush back to get.

@Fat Trout did you ever get to clear the blowdowns on 7-11 entrance trail? Seems @JohnB reported back in Sept it was clear but some walk arounds?

I didnt but @Eddie Z did. Ive been through there since and grass is a little high but ok. Just remember coming in that the main trail from the road the trail cuts/bypasses left to avoid the first wet spot then does the same to the right shortly after you go over the culvert pipe.
Cool. Thx. We’ll be riding tomorrow a bit earlier than Matty’s start time but may see you in there.
Did orange, rogue loop, lots of white and school trail. This is the first time in multiple months that they've been really good. No blood lost to thorns, you could actually see the trail on rogue, and only one log down (school trail) that I can recall. Of course, the bridge by the school is a bit of an adventure. Overall, it was actually...finally...fun.
Yeah I spent a solid week in there hitting the brushback. Glad to hear school trail was good because that was my next mission. Barberry is in extreme invasive problem in DP and a safe haven for tick population. Trying to keep that at bay is full time job.
Great job! As for the school trail, it's good (except one log), but you can tell that it will only take two weeks of spring to be overgrown again.

Park by the Panther Pub, cross the street and enter the woods. Afterwards, get a brew and burger at the pub. Win win!

I've sent this to @chainsawer so he is aware of this. Thank you.This tree is on the white trail approx 0.25 mile south of Deer Park Pond.
I need to get in an open the wet areas, typical areas that hold water because of leaf damns. Yesterday's ride was exceptionally wet because of it
