Picked up a fair amount of debris and branches and one large tree. Trail is in decent shape.

      Was expecting more from this trail based on the comments. Was a bit disappointed, Death Rattle was way more fun. This one was just kind of one dimensional and boring.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
