Description:
there seems to be confusion among some riders in this forest. the path called double track connector is for up hill pedaling towards ladder. the paths to the right are downhill exits for hillbilly and buck. i have re formed this intersection to allow water to drain down hill to the pipe works along the double track connector. i will be building up the exit for hillbilly to be a permanent downhill only path with a stone and dirt berm and obvious trench for water drainage. any complaints can be sent to idontcare dot com @ gmail dot com.
the exit for hillbilly has been a constant mud pit for the ENTIRE SPRING AND SUMMER because it seems to be the way people exit or enter the double track connector causing water to drain in the WRONG DIRECTION.
i will correct this over the next week or so.

 water drainage trench near the end of hillbilly was full of sand so the water was just sitting on top of the trail at the final fast flow section of the trail. i scooped up all the sand, threw it onto the trail and pressed it into the mud with my rake, then fell this big boulder into the hole. wont take many more rain storms to fill this drainage hole back over again.

 its so freaking damn hilarious to me to see bike tire marks going in all three directions at the exit of the hill billy trail instead of using the double track connector path but that i built up the trail so strong with hard clay that you really special minded riders do zero erosion to it. whatever floats your boat i guess, dont come crying to me when a downhill racer crashes into you out of the blind turning exit at the hill billy finish because you wanted to pedal the wrong way to ladder *shrugs*

 seriously go cry to the NBMBA when a downhill racer crashes into you xc pedal climbers when youre going the wrong way the downhill racer can barely even see out the finish of hillbilly because the green stuff is growing 9 feet tall and right into the single track path

 a dozen more buckets of sand stepped and stomped and mixed down into the mud line that used to be the exit to hillbilly. this spot is already dryer now and should be super erosion resistant in a few days.
