| 7 | Harvest Fields - Ascension Trail | Tree/Limb Blocking Trail | 6 inch diameter about have to 3/4 of the way up Ascension. |
| 5 | Harvest Fields - Valley View Trail | Erosion/Washout | Multiple areas of mostly mild washout after yesterday's storm. I walked all gravel trails (except from white barn to first intersection). Washout is noted with yellow circles on uploaded map. I have several photos of areas of washout. Worst washout is on CAPtivate near the guard rail and sublime between the pond and ascention intersection. The red dots note old issues that may or may not be on the radar. Large hole by bridge on valley view (plugged with rock - rideable) and loose board on bridge near "stinky pond" on CAPtivate. Will follow-up with email of photos showing extent of washout (easier to email photos from phone). If we don't get too much rain, I will ride likely ride the dirt trails at HF tomorrow morning and will report any issues. then. |
