Description:
The top of the trail has been cleared and we have ripped out the step up to step down too, it was rotten. The teeter totter is fixed and the trees have been removed down to the triple drop. There is still some overgrowth down bottom, we will get to that soon.
The wood is becoming more and more questionable, anyone want to get together and make a plan over a beer?

We went up this evening, you weren' t around so we didn't touch anything. Nice work man, wasn't what we were feeling for the line but it looks great! We wanted to throw a boner log on the last gap.... Make sure you look at the tables and landings and their center supports, the boards are nice hard and weathered fir but there are some weak spots, if someone happens to land short the boards could break. The teeter totter and ladder are good, we still need to throw some more bracing on the support frame to make sure it doesn't move or collapse.
We are stoked that you guys are putting some work in on this trail with us. We moved a lot of trees off the trail, something like 16. We walked it with a brushing tool and my saw over the weeks, we don't have a quad or access to one. Then when we rode it thinking all was good, nope, there was more trees down from the wind. So we hiked it again with the saw and bucked them up and we decided to fall/remove a lot of the trees that have been leaning over the trail for a few years AKA. Danger trees... There is a lot of old and or rotten trees left standing in the area, none of which I felt comfortable falling, too dangerous.
Some of the wood work below is in bad shape also, do you have a quad to access the lower parts more efficiently? It would be nice to get Jedi f*cker rebuilt and ride-able.
Anyways, the work that is being done is well appreciated, it is just too bad that this area is being looked at for the timber. An acquaintance of mine has been doing some flagging in the lower areas for harvesting, he says they will be moving further and further up the hill. Fingers crossed they might leave this area alone, doubtful though.
