Well, whether you like or not Mark, the swale is where forestry does NOT want tracks running up (give Elyse or even Jakob a call---they were both there with forestry at the beginning), which is why that needs blocked---there are plans of better defining the trail route, but this won't be executed until april at the soonest...more likely may....and yes, the plan is for LARGER ROCKS. If a person can't make the original trail in it's current state, maybe they should reconsider running that section. Hell, we had more than one smaller-tired rig run the right path with a little winching (part of the game we play).....there's no need to blast a trail. If someone breaks on a trail (sorry to hear Doug!), that's also part of the game we play...
I agree some sort of signage NEEDS put there, maybe even the reason why...with that said there were a couple ideas thrown out there that I think would work for bypassing the hardest section of the trail, and it's not going to go up the swale, but we need to clear it with DNR before anything can happen there....what we can do as volunteers is try to keep them on the right path by blocking it, and try to educate those that aren't...But yeah, a sign would be helpful....
