On Tuesday June 29th BTCEB received a trails report from a Trail Forks rider explaining that he encountered a dead fallen tree across the upper portion of Cinderella Trail at Joaquin Miller blocking the entire trail. Presenting a significant impediment to safe riding I notified the club’s Trails team of the potential for misadventure.
Already acting upon it Morgan Fletcher and his riding buddy were able to remove the lower portion of the blocker with a pocket saw chain the same day! Although now passable the section might have still presented a head height obstruction for some taller or distracted riders.
But have no fear, three days later Henry Mitchell skillfully cleaned up the remainder of the deadfall to completely reopen the section.
Please join me in giving thanks to Morgan, Henry, and all of the other JMP volunteers for their ongoing care and attention to our beloved trails!
