Allison Farms Tree - Heads up...

Rode Allison Farm tonight.  There's a ~5-7" tree starting to come down over the trail at an angle, maybe 1/4 to 1/3 the way through the trail.  You can duck under it, but not by much.  Roots have started to pull out, and it's probably just a matter of time before it goes.  No saw on me, otherwise I would have cut it down.  A hand saw would probably do the trick, though don't hold me to that!  Wink

Not sure I can sneak out tomorrow before the rain, but figured I'd let somebody else here know in case they can beat me to it.

Thanks for the heads up!  Let me know if you get it before this Sunday's work day. Smiley

Did not get back in.  Rode North Meck last night, and successfully dodged rain for a lap before skies opened up.

As wet as it is (and will be), it shouldn't be getting any traffic in the next few days.

Got the tree handled...

Looks like it continued to slowly come down over the trail in the last day or two, and was no longer passable by ducking.  Sawed it away, and there's a decent log on the ground nearby should you need a piece of lumber in that area.
