Fall Trail Cleanup - Barbour Fork
|
A beautiful fall day - well enjoyed outside. Temps and breeze were
PERFECT! |
| On the way in we came across this rock. While
not overly in the way, we decided to move it to the edge of the trail -
on our way out. |
| Signs are in good shape. |
| A
downed forest service sign "don't drive here". Not intended for the
formal trail where my jeep sits but rather a 'new' trail down the
mountainside. |
| The
trail passes through private property. The new property owner does not
want "trespassers" and has installed fencing and gates. The trail,
which used to be a nice loop, has two dead end fingers. Fortunately, people are not damaging the fence / gate. |

| Trash removed Overall - not too much. General thought is - fewer people are getting out to the forest vs. people being more in tune with packing out what they pack in. The orange hoodie, in nice condition, was tied to a signpost. It likely fell off and the person never noticed it. Another person likely found it on the trail and put it on a signpost. We're removing stuff - so it's getting removed. It might find itself as warm weather clothing that stays in the jeep. |
| The aspen trees have - no gold to be had here.
Down at the trailhead there was a stand that was in good yellow. |
| Pulling the rock to the other side of the
trail - to a more out of the way spot. |
