    		Bucked out the trees on the top section, running good, just a couple of snow patches. Believe the Buchannan FSR is still snow covered for the last 1.5 km, so you'll have to pedal up FG. reporter

    		All clear of blowdown after the wind event. Some bigger leaners above the trail that will need a chainsaw at some point. Hit it!
