Overgrown vegetation -- this trail needs a serious trimming. The Alders have grown fiercely for the first 3-4 miles since the trail has opened. They're still small enough to be able to be taken out with gas-powered trimmers but pretty soon they're going to overwhelm the trail and it will be lost. The upper single track is still in amazing shape but there are 3 or 4 large trees crossing the trail that need a chainsaw.

I'm out with ankle surgery for another month but I'll join a crew by early November.
