Blowdown or trail features?

[dsquaredmsquared]

Rode Great Wall yesterday afternoon. The weather was cool, windy, and there were a few sprinkles here and there. Except for one spot of standing water, the trail was nice and dry. I'll try to take care of that puddle this weekend.

I also came upon two downed trees/trail features - not sure which. One was a large log, with the broken end sticking halfway into the the trail. I managed to move it a bit, so it is less in the trail, but couldn't muscle it completely off the trail (sorry if it was meant to be there).





The other downed tree hangs over the trail. It's a low bridge that I barely made it under, but there are branches that could be trimmed. However, and just off the trail, the overhanging tree is is mixed up with at least one other downed tree. If this needs to be cut down, I'd be happy to help.





Lastly, saw a double rainbow on the way home. One end of the rainbow(s) was in Martinez and the other end looked like it was in FATS.


Here is a map showing the downed trees/trail features.


I will try to take care of the puddle on Saturday afternoon, or morning if it rains, and would be happy to help out with the trees - if they need to come down.

After Modoc with JT, I took care of the standing water on GW.

First picture is from Tuesday and the 2nd is the clay hole looking better.





Thanks to the person(s) who trimmed the branches off the overhanging tree.

I'd leave the one pinching the trail. I got under the one hanging overhead just fine. But bigger riders may appreciate it being cut out.

thanks for the work.

I went out with my hand saw to cut the smaller, lower branch to give more clearance. someone beat me to it and removed the whole tree. Thanks you.
