      A pair of larger trees across the trail just North of the ridge between Big Lake Cr drainage and S. Fk. Needs a chain/katana saw. Clear otherwise...

      Aug 29, 2022
      		 About 13 trees down. Most are small or medium sized, and many can be ridden over, but 2 larger trees will need a chainsaw or large handsaw.
