	Did anyone ride BYT yesterday and have a trail report. Hopefully dry by now but how about the debris? Trying to sneak out there tonight after work. Like many of you i havent had a chance to ride on the dirt in more than a month. 6:15ish tonight from MD center if conditions permit...

	Rode part of it with worker-rider this morning. He was going to try to finish the whole thing but I haven't heard back yet. There are several large trees down blocking trail. Had to dismount in multiple places. Lot's of standing water, especially just past the poo tracks. That being said, most of the trail has held up nicely. I'm sure he will chime in shortly with more detail. If you do go out just be prepared for some slow going and lots of mud.

	Just got back home and here is my opinion. Yours may differ. Several large clumps of trees to be cut out. A few of them cross more than one trail. Large and small branches all over. I counted 13 places that will need sawing. I guess I will just watch the weather and maybe cut Sunday around 10 for part of the day (not all day). I will call plant to see if I/we can drive in to get some of them. There is standing water in 3 places and mud in a few places that used to stay dry. Slow rolling and dont get me started about the mosquitos, just dont stop!! Some drain work also needs to be done. If anybody out there would like to join in please post up or pm me. Will also post up on site. Looks like 2 spots where the trees fell will make propper log piles. Place needs to dry out for a little longer. TOOOO MUCH RAIN!

	Rode the Marion Diehl side yesterday...thought the conditions were near perfect, except for a tree down on one section.

	Rode BYT tonight. Actually, the trail on an overall was great. Yes, there were the mud holes after the poo rails, and yes there we a couple other wet spots, but I'd venture to say that it was damn near 90% as of this evening. Scott, I'm more than happy to wield a chainsaw and take out those trees. I think the worst (biggest) tree is almost at the end of the trail near the now abaondoned corn maze section. That sucker is huge. Make a call on a workday so we can start planning accordingly. Everyone else, wear some Off deep woods. You'll need it. ...and check for ticks! Picked me up one tonight.
