Is that a turtle?

That's what I saw at first glance too.

Bottom right of the tree? It definitely looks like one, but then again I'm looking at a 5 inch phone screen.

I bet it was an otter.

We spent a few hours cleaning up today got though about half the park, it's mostly small stuff that's down, not sure about the rest of the trails but it should be good for the weekend

 

[tmcmtb]

That's good news and thank you, work is appreciated, I figured the local parks would've wound up looking like a warzone.

As of this afternoon were pretty good at Jungle, just some detailing left to.
If we missed something let us know

thank you for clearing the trails - I noted on TrailForks but there is a large tree across Hippo near the Fish intersection. Will need chainsaw.

I was there today. Conditions were perfect, Thanks to all for clearing stuff to make our loop epic!

It's now safe again to cross the pipeline and ride Dump truck, all the 6' high grass has been weed wacked and Robin's tree has been cut out by some mysterious person

Really good today. Was totally clear except for 1 small chest-height tree on the way up Dump Truck but someone in our group had a folding saw and took care of it.

Lower Chute has several trees down (as of Sunday 11-15).

attention holders of the Jungle Habitat crystal ball!

Would it be jerk move to ride here on Thursday afternoon considering today’s weather?

Should be good, stay on wet weather friendly trails if in doubt.

This is a great feature that I never knew about!
However, places like Allaire and Round Valley are grayed-out and I know those are wet weather friendly.

Yes, Trailforks is a crowdsourced project and not everyone is comfortable with using it, hence we have lots of gaps. I believe anyone can edit the trails (changes will need to be approved) and check off wet weather friendly. I'm hoping more people do so. This way rather than harping on folks not to ride muddy trails we can point them to a simple alternative.

I guess my next question is, what would be the definition of wet weather friendly?
Obviously a place like Allaire that is dry the day after a monsoon but what about trails that dry out a day or two later?

Bit of a judgement call, I tend to think if you can ride it wet without making ruts, you're good. Pretty much any wood road. Rocky trails (didn't say it had to be easy). So mark it wet friendly, if not somebody will come along and correct it, that's the beauty of crowdsource.
