K. Just curious. I thought any kind of "unsanctioned" trail maintenance was a no no. Whether to protect someone or not. Any input? I see lots of unsafe roots, tree branches etc, but just leave them alone.

Clearing deadfall and cutting out branches that are blocking the trail is generally fine. I carry a smaller and less cool fold out saw in my camelbak and use it on the regular.

Yeah I clear branches, small fallen trees and pickers routinely. Roots never. Pete guided me to picking up this folding saw - cuts like butter

Yeah, it is a no no, because there are lots of idiots that would go crazy with "improving" trails. No one seems to mind my minimal trail work to just keep things clear and passable. They also would have a liability problem too if they sanctioned people doing trail work. For me it's been getting to know the park crew and they appreciate my helping out. As I hike and walk the trails I pick up trash and carry it out because I know the crew will never go where I go on the trails, they have enough to do in the beach area and hi traffic areas. I advise them when there are BIG trees down and they usually get to them when they can. But that's just my situation.
If they see me with a loaded garbage bag while I'm walking they even stop to take it off my hands, and give me a new one.

How much dose did you get?

They assured me everything is just fine down at the plant...nothing to worry about

there's unsanctioned chainsawing going on in my parks, I just hope they bring a friend along so they don't bleed out! Also, isn't biking with a machete worse than running with scissors?

Maybe if you have it tucked in your waste band.😱

Here's how my Surly is being used until it's too cold out for her

 

[Dusty the Whale]

We did 11 miles with a little tiny 6mr section.

The least you could do is install a mud-flap. 😛

Although she seems pretty happy! Cute kid.

There is one. She drinks from my bottle so there is some splashing... add Dusty conditions and there you go

I figured and was just teasing.

Fatty on the rocks.
