I can buzz through with the battery powered trimmer. Probably take me 20-30 mins. Friday
Not sure how much time and battery you have, but the unmarked trail from yellow up to white, and that first part of wild blue need some love too.
I can make it out later next week. I rode it a few weeks back and it was BAD

DEP doesn't mess around with motorized vehicles on WMAs tho either. So the number would probably work in this case.
But then again WMA's are still closed to mountain biking. So call with that in mind. I have called a few times. give them as many details as you can gather.

Biking is allowed 3/1-4/15 and 6/1-9/15 and Sundays throughout the year.

@trailhead there are two trees down on the new righter mine trail. One towards the top and one towards the bottom. They are both decent sized.
When did you see them? We took care of two trees on that trail on Wednesday night.

It was Tuesday. Problem taken care of then. Thanks!
Well, it's mostly taken care of. We couldn't clear them with a hand saw, but both are now rideable. You can thank us by bringing me beers. You know where and when
Meriden Trail after the "new way down" descent tends to be a mess, the roots are so confused, it just kind of takes the high off what is otherwise an awesome experience. Also, the erosion and traffic could damage the roots of the birches. Putting in a wood structure is one solution, but costly and requires ongoing maintenance. Do you think "wood chips" would be a good solution? And if so, would hand hauling them from the Meriden Trailhead be something you would help with? others solutions? or its not an issue worth working on.
Not sure what the best solution is @trailhead but im down to help with whatever.
What about rock armoring?
