A little greasy in some spots. The exit is a little spicier than it used to be.

Someone dragged debris onto the trail just above the exit. All small stuff easily cleared but it was a deliberate act.

Cut out some fallen trees. Exit to road is now a rootball dropping into a river, extra spice compared to before but she goes.

      Not sure who's been "working" on the upper portion of the trail, but maybe shoot me a pm and we can see if there's a more constructive way to add to the trail. Blind drops to flat, that encroach on existing features/rolls are not the best. Thanks

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
