Itinerary description

Reconnaissance on the mid and main trails.
Looking for blow-downs and other obstacles.
(Jan 8 2020)

Waypoints

#1 First obstacle along the mid trail between the big and small fields.

This looks like a new blow-down. Not far from the big field, tt is not hard to step over.

#2 near the end of the trail and the opening to the smaller field

This has been here all along. I'm just notating this pre-existing obstacle. It is pretty much snow covered.

#3 A new fallen tree in the smaller field.

Looks like a hefty truck but not really an obstacle until it's time to mow in the summer.

The cabin is still here

Yay. The only issue was that the chair on the right had been blown off the porch and I had to yank it out of the snow.

#4 First obstacle on the main trail

This is between the cabin and the fallen-down tree stand. It's about knee high and maybe 6 or to 8 inches in diameter. It can be straddled over with some effort.

#5 Second obstacle across the main trail

This fallen trunk is about shin high and 4 to 6 inches in diameter. It seems pretty old and rotted, probably easy to cut and move in pieces but it's easy to step over.
