first one on main loop on narrow trail about 200 yards before lake loop breaks off.

Second on lake loop in the area after the big downhill with two jumps 1/2 mile after the sharp turn to go uphill 

the first has a LOT of poison ivy around it

Both will require chainsaws. The tree on the lake loop is after engine block rock. You go down that hill, turn the left hander and climb back up. It is a little past that as you're winding around through there

Seen them tonight, but didn't have my saw.  The one on main isn't super big, so you may be able to take care of that w/your saw, David.  The one on lake is pretty big, but you may be able to work around the big part of it and get the piece blocking the trail out of the way.  Unfortunately, I can't get out there to help tomorrow, but I might be able to get out Sunday morning if you want to meet up and tag team on them.

I got the one on main and then my chain was screaming "no mas!"  There is a little more to do as the tree took down a couple others and when I cut the section on the trail the rest springboarded up and is resting on part of another.  It's no danger to anyone but I'll get it all taken care of.  Will take care of that and the one on lake tomorrow once I sharpen my chain.
