Redback is reported clear to the mine (the big iron prow/tank/whatever it is in the woods). I have not heard any reports for Redback between the mine and Hutch, up on top of the hill.Got a little further today from South Gate side.
On the Muncee trail, other than the tree a few posts above, it is clear and clean all the way to the power-lines. After you cross the power-line there is a REALLY swampy section where the double-track splits and returns to single-track. That is where I stopped. Once that area dries out a bit, it shouldn't take long to finish the last stretch of Muncee to where I left off a week or so ago coming from Long Meadow Rd.
I came back and went up Redback and got as far as the giant rock (or for those who prefer -- glacial erratic). So, the remaining stretch on that side is from that rock up to where Redback meets Hutchinson.
There wasn't anything else BIG on the trails. But, there were a ton of smaller limbs and "derailleur eaters".
We still have close to a mile of trail to build above the power line area. Hopefully that will happen by mid summer. Almost all of the double track barge canal and swamps near the powerline will be bypassed.
