3 hours into lower maze with @christryon and @Shredley this morning. Should be good for the year.
How are middle and upper if anyone's ridden it recently?

Great day! Hard work. Positive energy. Perfect weather. Glad we could get it done. 🙂
Upper is the most overgrown at this point.. Not the whole way through.

The new one on the Morris Canal Greenway was cleared. And I also finished the leaner nearby.

I got 2-3 days left in me before fest, let me know what days you're heading up.
Great job with the cut back! Park is running great!
Recommendations are some trim back on the downhills like pots and pans, orange and miestabuger. Need these sightlines more then climbs 😁 Thanks again.
Lower white after the switchbacks on the Southside has 2 trees about 100 yards apart. Tally hoe also has tree blockage. One other area I cannot remember.

If you cross under the trestle o ing from the rail bed and make your first right (if you went straight you would either go up Teepee rock trail or Border/mulch trail)
Hope this helps clear things up

Trimming tomorrow Morning 8 am.
Starting at the lot near the mazes, probably do Upper Maze and maybe Tally Ho if I get some help.

Did a short ride and found the following trees below. Muscled one tree off of Skeezix. Was chatting with someone that said they saw a big one down somewhere over by white/meister, but didn't get enough intel to chase it and I was out of time.
Vistar:
Cooler Trail (easy bypass, low priority):
Intersection of Cooler/Skeezix (also VERY EASY bypass):

Thanks! So has anyone else come across the big one down somewhere over by white/meister?
That was the one I couldn't remember from last week. We met again this week. I think @Fat Trout took a pic.
Wow what a difference pots and pans were today. A little bit of trimming goes a long way.
We need to give orange crush a cleaning. Lots of loose baby heads and a trimming.
@Cassinonorth keep me posted on TM day for that one.
If we setup a shuttle starting from the campground up Orange->White/Meisterburger down to the gravel lot near KDS we probably can knock out those two downhills in one go with 2-3 of us. Not having to hike back the way you came was a huge help. We were able to hit ~3 miles of trimming Saturday since these trails aren't as thick as the Mazes/Trestle.
After those 2 DH's you mentioned are cleaned I'd love to give them the Tally Ho treatment. Clean up and restore some of the old berms, clear the loose rocks and open up any bonus lines. May have time Friday afternoon to get out there.
