The big tree is gone. Thanks to our crew of hard workers, we were able to cut this thing out without any power tools!

Dang! Thats sweet! I could never get over... once front wheel was at top the rear would hit the first little part of stick ramp, glad to see it gone! Thanks guys.

[widespot]

Nice job guys.

[Drexler]

Thank you guys, that thing was not easy to go over.

[bigwheel]

Thanks, everyone.

Seeing the struggles of third-world trails gives me better appreciation for the power tools that we take for granted at the more sophisticated trails.

20-inch chainsaw, 20 seconds. Brap!

Nice work!

Goodbye, big tree.

[grimlock]

Thank you so much!
I'm so surprised this was accomplished without any power tools :)

Did you use one of those old-timey 2 man saws? that thing was pretty big.

Two bow saws, one scary Shawn J saw, and three Pulaskis, one which bravely sacrificed itself to the cause.

It was big and really, really super hardwood in the non-rotting places. There was much rejoicing when we finally broke through.

Thanks gang. next week I'm in (unless I have to go to Iowa).

It should be an interesting session. A bunch of shovel-leaners will be attempting to pin flag a couple upcoming trail segments while Tom (the only one of us who can really be called a trailworker) leads the rest of the crew in redesigning some trail in the south loop, fixing an ugly corner, rockin' out and more!

(unless I GET to go to Iowa).


typo, fixed that for ya.:D

[tacdad]

Hmm... that's not quite as big as the rocks we moved at Leb. But you'll soon work your way up to that, right?:p


Good job guys!

Well yeah, there is a boy scout camp where I can ride, and a decent river for paddling all close by to my facility down there, so it really isn't so bad. :)

However, it is very rare to get an evening free to come and do some trail work and pay my dues for the trails I use. My canoe racing clinics are now over, so I've got a small window until cross country starts up.

Thanks! I just rode on that today for the first time - well first trail ever. Is that where there is just a huge amount of bark to run over?
