On a fun little ladder bridge at Nassahegan. This stunt is not very safe right now...lots of wood rot and most of the slats are pulling out of the deadfall it sits on. But, it was fun when it was intact!!

Is that in the section just South of Scoville, not too far off of the main trail?

yes it is the stunt you are thinking of. It is not what it once was...it has deteriorated pretty badly. The nails on the slats were falling out pretty easily. This tells me that the wood below is rotted.

Trust me. reuler does his fair share of trail maintenance.

Thanks for the back-up Greg! I thought about repairing the stunt gorgonzola, but ran into a couple of challenges that made me consider otherwise.

1) the dead fall that the ladder rungs are tacked into is rotting in spots. The rungs are falling out because the nails aren't holding in the soft wood. Putting more nails and rungs on will be a very short fix...eventually we'll be dealing with the same issue. I've thought of some solutions, but reason #2 kills it for me.

2) the biggest reason is the status of that section of trail. Recently a forestry company came into this area of woods and marked a good chunk of the trees surrounding this trail for harvest. I have held off more for this reason. There's no point to put time into fixing a stunt on a trail that may not even be rideable in the near future due to logging.

I'm not as worried about the Stone side. The amount of trees that WERE marked was not that extensive....and....they are already down. The good part is that it didn't affect any of the existing trails. Hopefully, that's all the logging they will do over there.

If you're curious about the blue marks that you see on some of the trees and rocks on that rocky fireroadish climb out from where the "new stuff" is, don't worry too much about that. Those marks have been there for more than 5 years. If you look closely, the blue paint is made into arrows on the trees/rocks on that trail.

Recently, I found out why that paint is there!! Somebody I ride with regularly ran into a guy and his son who train/run their 20 something hound dogs on that route. They told him that they put the blue arrows to remind them of their route. It made sense, because I have run into them laying down a scent path for their dogs on that trail before.

I don't have too many pictures of me mountain biking. Our rides never really seem to have too many opportunities to stop and take pictures. I rarely even ever ride with my camera anymore because I never use it..

That stunt is all but gone now. Too bad, it looked like fun.
