Itinerary description

Reconnaissance on the side and back trails.
Looking for blow-downs and other obstacles.
(Jan 7 2020)

Waypoints

Obstacle #1

Not far from the west-side trail head in the field. I was able to clear one of these but the other knocked me down - haha But it can be walked over.

#2 along the west-side trail

This one is one the ground and snow-covered. I broke off a piece trying to lift it.

#3 a little ways along the west-side trail.

This is passable, but maybe you should cut it

#4 about 1/2 way out the west-side trail

This can be bent to get by but would be easy to cut with hand saw

#5 - at the north-west corner

Big tree across the back line by the beer can. It broke off and feel from the stump in the foreground. It's on the ground and can be stepped over.

#6 - not far from the beer-can

Another big tree across the back line about thigh high off the ground. It can be straddled over but might be quite a high step for many.

Milton Burl

A n old friend, not an obstacle.

Red and blue balls in spiral hangers

Marker left at the crossing of the main, central trail and the back-line trail. Not an obstacle

#7 on the east side trail near the back line.

Three tree trunks about 4" diameter blocking the trail. Can be stepped over and under.

#8 east side trail not far from the back line

Larger trees on the ground can be stepping over

#9 along east side trail

Another big tree shin high across the east trail. If the braches are cust off it wouldn't be too bad to step over

#10 a little further on the east side trail

Yet another large tree on the ground to step over.

#11 about half way along the east side trail

This one is mostly off to the but might want to at least clear the branches from it.

#12 still more on the east-side trail

Mainly an eye-sore. Can scoot around the end of this one.

#13 a real mess on the east side trail

This one is a mess of branches and the trunk in the middle of the trail.

#14 - the last obstacle on the east side trail

Yet another big one about knee high possibly 8in in diameter. The limbs, at least, should be taken off to make it easier to straddle over. I suppose this could be considered the 1st obstacle on the east side trail depending on which end of the trail you start at.
