Almost There	Jul 6, 2024 @ 1:55am Jul 6, 2024	very rough, due to previous cattle being on the trail. could do with a light grade.
Gorgeous	Jul 6, 2024 @ 1:48am Jul 6, 2024	wild animals have been digging into the embankment, dislodging soil and rocks.
Skroo'd Up	Jun 30, 2024 @ 12:48am Jun 30, 2024	Dirt on this new climbing trail to 500 Above has mostly compacted now. Great effort in building this trail - say goodbye to that freaking fire road from hell. ;)
