Promises Kept

I told you I'd return to remove a couple fallen trees! I had to do so before Saturday night's predicted snowfall.

Visit #1517, Saturday 8 February 25, 6:55-9:30AM, 5.0 miles, 0.0 lbs. of litter.

Temps in the 20s, partly cloudy, with 6" of snow predicted overnight.

Where are all the fun hogs; they missed a colorful sunrise. It's a lonely parking lot on a Saturday morning.

I saddled up for my promised Power Tool Weekend® to remove the trees I hopped over last weekend, hiking last week's route in quasi-reverse.

Good thing I wore my Stabil Max Cleats. Hiking on the trails would have been a whole lot more difficult without them.

 I'll give you my Before and After shots of the fallen trees.

Here I removed that leaning tree as well, or at least walked it to the other side of the trail with a couple proper cuts.

Hiking back to the park on the Yellow Trail, I found the branches of a fallen tree, which I took the opportunity to remove. Doing so required minor chainsaw cleanup.

On today's hike I found some graffiti which must be addressed and I'll do so next week.

Maybe I'll find more cars in the parking lot then!
