Hartshorne/Huber Conditions

Trails in good shape yesterday morning. Mostly frozen, with some softening spots and plenty of frozen ruts .
Does anyone know what this is and where the trail goes? Near the water tower is this barrier with a ‘gate’ . The trail continues on the other side. Private property I guess?

Yeah that is a fence for the property there (as far as I know). I don’t even think the trail you are currently on is sanctioned.
 
Hiked the Rocky Point and Grand Tour loop on Sunday. Saw bikes on Grand Tour but only hikers on Rocky Point. It was relaxing with the better half.

@pooriggy on the excavator.

Cuesta Ridge was a huge mess and there was one section so blown out and getting worse with each storm. It was fenced off but that seemed to make the trail even tighter and the fence was falling in on itself.

Iggy flagged out a great layout for a redirect which now ties into Laurel Ridge a little closer to the alligator and goes around the worse area where the fence was.

As usual the Monday Morning Crew got down yesterday! Lots of top layer moved and barrowed over to the old blown out section of Cuesta. Along with a ton of small sized transplants. The old trail is already close to going back to a natural state with the benefit of slowing down water shed rates massively.

Iggy cut some beautiful grade dips up stream on Cuesta. I hiked there last night and they were definitely channeling the water from the big storm Monday night. The dips also blend into the current trail nicely and are overbuilt for many future events from Mom Nature. They also look like they will be fun for long/low scrub manevers on a bike 😉
 
As Don and Steve pointed out, we started on a reroute of Cuesta Ridge on Monday.

This was really needed, since the old line was totally blown out from years of rain washing down the road. We put in the reroute on the worst section and I'm adding grade dips to the rest of Cuesta to keep it from getting worse.

We divided and conquered Monday, Don worked with the crew on the reroute, removing organic layer and plants to add to the closed section of trail. I worked on grade dips with mini ex.

As a reminder, Hartshorne is a Jorba chapter. This allows us to have more resources available to us. Such resources include funding for tools and a budget to allow for the occasional lunch for the volunteers...which is well deserved.

Becoming a Jorba member helps support Jorba Chapters. Please take the time and become a member. All the fun you have mtbing at parks ain't free.😄

Busting out new trail.

These were still there yesterday.
There’s another small tree on Claypit run about 1/8 mile from the first climb in, about a 6” tree but the branches block the trail
