Lower Oilcan	Dec 2, 2023 @ 7:06pm Dec 2, 2023	Snow until the step down, pretty sloppy up top but tires are getting through to dirt. I opened up another re-route about half way down. It’s not totally finished, but it’s open enough to ride. reporter
Baden Powell (Fromme Section)	Dec 1, 2023 @ 11:46am Dec 1, 2023	Replaced broken slats on second bridge east of lower Ladies - stringers have some surface rot but lots of solid wood at the core - much better than I was expecting :) reporter
Upper Griffen	Nov 26, 2023 @ 9:10pm Nov 26, 2023
Ramble On	Nov 25, 2023 @ 3:19pm Nov 25, 2023	In amazing shape - new work is great. A few muddy spots where some of the new work hasn’t set yet, but overall it’s great. reporter
