There is a large tree down on both orange and red which have been reported to the Trail Coordinators.

I went out Monday to take a look at the trees, unless I get held up at work tonight I'll be out there working on it.
The large fallen tree on the orange loop needs cut out,. since the tree fell where there is already a bypass I plan to open the bypass up and build up the log crossing to keep the trail more ride-able for all levels of riders. The smaller tree going over the trail that already had loose rotting sticks built up on it I secured with bigger branches, didn't have any tools aside from my machete out there on Monday (it is normal to ride with one, right?) so I did what I could. I'll look at it again tonight when out there.
On the red loop, there is a fallen tree that is running on the side of the trail I'm going to move over to avoid people cutting a wider path or a new bypass in that area. Also the large tree blocking the path I'm going to just cut out, it would be a high log crossing for that trail to build it up, and not enough dead fall close enough to make me want to build it. On Monday I did open up the runners entrance/exit that has 2 red arrows marking the Y on the trail, Taking the trail in the direction that doesn't flow when riding was almost completely grown shut and since the sign was there I figured open it back up
I'll make a post when finished and everything is back open with trail conditions.
