Anyone been out here lately? Conditions report? Imagine with Sourlands finally shaping up might be similar at WCT?
FWIW, a silky saw (or any folding but the silky gets the nod for its incredibly sharp blade)is the best thing I have found for trimming, hands down.Spent some time this morning trimming Orange and a bit of Blue. Still needs a lot more and will be back. The Yellow loop is in decent shape but a very large tree down near the start off Blue.

This is Red... Red needs a good mechete session - way overgrown.

This is yellow - there are three large trees down that require a chainsaw

Eh just need a bigger hand saw. What is that thing you are carrying, a pen knife?
Hi, looking for a place to ride that's not flooded. Does this place drain well? Thanks

Didnt cross over to Water Co due to time this morning, but Greenway is trashed. I think I know where I will be focusing some efforts this year...I haven't been here since the summer when I was hiking and trimming. I figured with colder temps, it might be worth checking out.
Horrible deep and wide ruts from people riding while it was (and is still) wet. I managed to stay on top of most of the ice and ruts but there is a lot of damage from previous rides. There are a few large trees down too.
I'm thinking of hiting these trails Saturday AM, after fresh snow?
trails are not well marked (i haven't been there since the spring), so someone knowledgeable will need to go through to follow them.
I was at Baldpate 2 times this week and Greenway on Monday. This morning, there were areas at Baldpate that were not frozen solid and I would expect similar for sections of Water Co.should be frozen - there is some good tech in there, the snow may end up filling-in, or covering.
