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.

@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.

Busting out new trail.
I like big grade dips.
Thank you Hartshorne crew. @knobbyhead @SAM @don(Jorba Rep) @smann

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

Good conditions post rain. Places where...grade reversals (N.B. be careful. You can catch some serious air/speed going down the Cuesta re-route)... and drains were put in on connectors in Grand Tour/Cuesta are doing excellently. Down trail 30-40 feet away from them, and there's water collection. Still, conditions around the bottom of the water tower trail/it's associated connector have rarely been this good post rain.
Lower Rocky Point is a bit wet, as usual, but will probably be dry by mid-morning tomorrow, as long as the sun comes out...
*note* didn't ride Huber...

Low Laurel on Rocky Point ( might need a straightening up )
Some interesting rock work in the smoothed out Laurel trail
Ponding in various areas on Rocky
I didn’t bother with lower grand tour as I expected a pretty muddy mess down there
Laurel was running really well and has been pretty smoothed out with the recent work
