I think we have a lot of trail maintenance in front of us. From a walk in my trail, I have six trees damaged: four down and two part way. We will want to hit the trails once they dry, but I suspect we need to hit them with chainsaws first, which we can do during mud season.
I want to volunteer for trail maintenance. I am near Flemington.

Looks like Jim's backyard to me.

It is my yard. I have a half-mile torture track that just got shorter with fallen trees. Need to cut and ramp up.
Still willing to work on other trails.

I should have let you know, last night we cleared Neshaminy.

Finally done cutting open a half-mile trail. Is this log too high?

 

[Patrick]

I have the same saw and three other gas saws, but lately I’ve been reaching for the electric saw instead. It is lighter, quieter, less vibration and cleaner. I look forward to seeing what a bigger e-saw could do in the future. You should PM me as I’ll lilkely need a hand in the coming weeks at 6-mr.

All of the above with a MIlwaukee battery powered sawzall. 10" trunks, in addition a variety of 4-6" branches are quick work. That slightly diagonal trunk on the right of the second picture was hanging across the trail from four feet to six feet high.

I guess it's not too high, in either direction.

 

[Fire Lord Jim]

These three were too tall, apparently.

I called Hunterdon County Park Rangers again today, seeking permission to saw and cut open trails. While awaiting the reply, I went in the back yard to try out my new lighter saw.
