NON-AUTHORIZED ROOT REMOVAL AT FISHER FARM!!!

To the person removing roots on Thunder Road, Enchanted Forest and the lower green loop yesterday, Friday,...STOP RIGHT NOW! PLEASE!!  You have not gotten permission from me and are NOT authorized to do so. 

I appreciate your enthusiasm, passion and initiative but please, PLEASE call or email me before you do any trail work other than clearing dead fall.  

Roots are left on the trail for a reason and they're part of the experience.  They are only removed if they present a danger or are creating trail widening.  I am the person responsible for it's care and I make that call.  Not anyone else.

That being said, we will be scheduling a work day to work on drains on the entire trail.  Everyone who would like to help is more than welcome to come and help.

Keep an eye on the homepage for dates!  Smiley

A little update on the "Root Raper".  As roots are removed, they are being replaced...with something harder and more durable.  Hope everyone likes the new additions cause I sure do!

Oh the life of a trail coordinator, screaming at people that likely don't even visit this board.

On a positive note, this thread made me miss Gramps.   Smiley

You think this could be the same person that cut down that little tree in the turn near the entrance that you rebar'd back in the ground? Now that was funny. 

Wonder if the dead rebar tree is still there?

Talked to Rick a couple of moths back. He's enjoying the south Florida life. No bike riding, but a bunch of fishing.

I seem to remember an avatar of a boat, fishing pole and pair of feet.  Good stuff, well deserved.
