Trail maintenance was moved to Tuesday in order to avoid the rain that was forecasted for our usual Wednesday. As a result, the turnout was small–only four people. But you can accomplish a lot with a couple of chainsaws, two bags of trail markers, and ribbon. Starting at the middle, two went east and two went west.
The trees along Bigstone Creek are old and majestic. So, when one of them falls, it’s a big deal. We cleared more than a few trees.
This tree landed lengthwise on top of the trail.
Hikers coming out on Sunday are in for a stunning show of fall colours.
I always loved the Fort Ethier hike in both directions. Too bad the weather has been so poor. Pray for an Indian Summer.
