I plan to spend a good part of this weekend finishing up the trails and scoping out some other projects if anyone is interested?

We rode East Boundary up and down.........nice. headed down Bear trap and removed quite a few trees, but didn't need a chainsaw. Needs a leafblower. SUmmer street is the wettest, luckily you can go around it. If your projects are rerouting of some old trails, I have some ideas. I would lay off building anything new until we fix what we have, unless it has sidewinder potential. Bridges need work, and a host of other things.

Projects:

[list:709a90af35]1) Clean up remaining portions of Skunk Hollow, 3 Rock, Boulder Cross, Goat and anything else that needs it.
2) Reroute 1 section of Outback (i.e. the mud hole on flat after climb with leaning tree).
3) Reroute 1 short section of Coit Summit North that stays wet.
4) Create 1 new connector trail from the top of Dodd's new road over to the remaining east section of Skunk Hollow.
5) Repair/replace/remove numerous bridges.
6) Finish 1 new trail on the East/North side of the Pinnacle, started in January (tentatively named the "Far Side")
7) Create 1 new trail on top of Coit that stays on Dodd's land and connects back up to Coit Summit North.
[/list:u:709a90af35]

Let me know what other projects you have in mind?

Unfortunately I didn't get out on Sat and I killed 5 hours on Sunday in 25 meter section of the new Far Side trail, instead of finish cleaning the existing trails. Given my limited time to work on these, the existing list might take all year. Not much if anything will be happening over the next month (I'm away more than I'm home).

# 4 is sure thing to do. I would like to connect pine link and bypass about 50 yards further up the hill to avoid that first section of bypass, and make it no single track climbing.

I like Big Rock. haven't ridden it yet.

We may want to reclaim some of the old lost Pine link.

Bridge repair on Bear trap and no name.

I cut up some pieces for the no-name bridge repair when I was out with the chainsaw, just need to get back in there and do the work. So I will get that one of the list.

There are 2 lines on Big rock, well technically 3 if you count the old line. Coming down Big Rock after the "Big Rock" make hard right, I recomend slowing way down for this line. The main line is the obvious reroute. I haven't seen it yet this year, is the banked corner dry? It was wet last year after I built it. It's not sidewider, but there are 2 banked corners back to back, so lower Big Rock should offer more speed and drier terrain, hopefully raising the Big Rock Experience one more notch.

I cleaned up Bear trap to the Skunk Hollow connector & the Summer St side of Skunk Hollow, and cut a new short trail to Dodd's new road bypassing the worst area of logging.

Coming from the Summer St end of Skunk Hollow it is obvious where to go, new trail section dumps you onto dry skidder trail, go right, at big mud hole I cleaned a route to immediate right of mud, as soon as you pass mud, you are in the clearing / log staging area at the end of Dodd's new road. If you go straight down the new road you will cross Dodd's main road and be on last years Pinnacle course, this dumps you into the big field at the base of Outback. If you hang a left at Dodd's main road, you climb back up the hill to the clearing at the end, where Outback ends, and Skunk Hollow used to begin, also near the beginning of Coit Summit North.
