Updates to the tread on trail U today.
ReplyDeleteOktoberfest area got mowed yesterday including nettle on Necessary Evil.
ReplyDeleteMowed Z and E yesterday until the cover on the trimmer head broke. Nettle is all gone.
ReplyDeleteAre the trails on pretty decent shape to ride over the 4th? Thanks in advance
ReplyDeleteKelly and Jason took out downed trees on Saturday. Trails LL and J got mowed today.
ReplyDeleteYes trails will be really nice on the 4th. More mowing will be done by then.
ReplyDeleteTrail W, G and Yin-Yang mowed today. The loggers by Homestead will be out after Monday, and the roads they used are in pretty good shape now. They even dumped a load of stone in the mud hole we've had to jump across.
ReplyDeleteMowing on C, CC, XX, KK and some Ice Age Trail done today. It's been a good year for raspberry brush.
