NOW it's "real".

That 1.5ft elevation change is a deal-breaker. Maybe later in the season, once I get my cardio back up...

I have a lot of hand tools, but a wheelbarrow might be helpful or ground tools that you prefer something specific.

Don't have a wheelbarrow but I'll bring buckets and a couple of my fav tools

This trail is short but a great addition to the park. Facilitating the flow:

Thanks for coming out today. This will be a heavily used trail once the parking lot opens behind the iron gate.

Put is a few good hrs this am on the new iron gate connector trail.

Started at a chilly 🥶 26 degrees but finished under the warm sun.


Got a mouthful from an angry mtber who I’ve crossed paths with before on a prior day building another trail.

Got an interesting lesson on how Jorba is ruining the park and how we are building illegally. Also found out that it’s JORBA’s fault that motorcycles aren’t allowed in the park. I also didn’t know that Jorba was run by radical liberals.

It was demanded of me to produce a permit, (of which we have permission btw) I passed on the opportunity to continue this enlightening exchange. We parted ways and I gave his description to the superintendent who was quite interested to meet with this fella.

Look out for an angry rider in a dated blk trek wearing thick glasses and an old Gold TLD helmet.

I also learned that his blk lab has a special hunting license 🪪 and can run off leash.

Such an entertaining and interesting encounter with an angry elf.

Pretty sure he was driving a silver Nissan utility van with a Thule t2 rack on the back.

Such an angry and hostile dude.. I hope he enjoyed the new trail we are building. View attachment 278129View attachment 278130View attachment 278131

There is no special permit that allows him to have dog off leash. There are designated dog training areas certain time if the year that allows one to train dogs off leashes but on F&W property. Unless hes actively hunting the dog has to be on leash in State Parks. Sound like he has mental issues.
