Cut out the big pine tree near the airstrip. However, there is one tree down near west end of the extension and 2 trees down on Lake Spring Trail. Plan to get them next weekend.
I recently got a note from COE stating that they were considering closing the cut through trails in the Lake Springs area due to non or little use. Yesterday, they had the Lake Springs trail roped off where it diverges from Bartram just beyond the Lake Springs Road. I cruised back up to the gate at the road and then took the Lake Springs trail down that side, parallel to the road. They had the trail roped off near the bottom and a new trail (open) that essentially cut off that whole bottom of the loop. I routinely ride that stretch when riding back from West Dam and take in the Lake Springs / Possum Trot loop. And I know that Jon Taylor rides that frequently as well. Anybody else???
Also noted: on the Extension, I see where COE has put in some re-routes that will take out the fun little dips in the 2nd half close to the water.
Also noted: someone (COE???) replaced the planks on the narrow bridge with longer planks. Only one problem: the planks are jammed up against one another so that water will not drain as easily. That will eventually promote a slippery surface - particularly as no hardware cloth was used.
