Topic: Lots of Trees down at Boyette!

[Darrinw2001]

I ran into a lot of downed trees today at boyette. I also cleared a lot of debris and branches and a couple of smaller trees. Golf cart had at least 5 down with one towards the front impassable. Lots of work is going to be needed there.

SST - 1 tree down
Loch Ness- 1 tree down
Golf cart - 5 trees down
West meadow - 1 tree down
Vista ridge -1 tree down

that is all i rode today

did you get clearance from the trail boss to remove those obstacles?

j/k

last time i rode there was a LOT of branches over a trail, when you got on them, it was like a trampoline, we just rode (or attempted to ride) over them

the bad thing is most are too far off the ground to roll over. the one towards the front of golf cart is a mess, you cant get over, under or around it!

Thanks for the report Darrin!  I sent a request for the preserve management to go in and take care of it.   We'll see if they will or not; or perhaps this will allow us to gain access again to make it easier to maintain the trails.

No problem Gary, thats what being a SWAMPER is all about. I cleared what I could. I did not get to ride as many trails as i would have liked, so I am sure ther are at least a few more trees down on some other trails. I did warn 1 other rider who was on her way in while I was heading out.

wow, must have been a bad storm over there. All that stuff was clear Sunday!

Garry,

if you could put me down for 2 hours of volunteer time since most of my time was spent removing debris and branches from the trails? Thanks!

[Garry]

Got it.
