Lower Dam Trail
Apr 19, 2025 @ 9:10am
Apr 19, 2025
Doing a quick hill walk before riding and noticed a garbage bag in the woods off the top of the dam lookout before the corner to the bench. Looks to have a large snake hanging out of it which I believe is deceased. Terrible odor when passing by and I’m not sure how long it’s been here for. Maybe 15 or so feet off of the trail so it is fairly visible when passing.
