Trail Is Clear
I scarcely believe it myself. We’ve had two days of unseasonably cool temperatures, so I took advantage of them and worked like a madman. I cleared the new section to within a few meters of the old and still usable … Continue reading
Trail: Axing for It
So I’m racing against the season as the deer ticks and chiggers proliferate. The first section nearest my home has a new trail, and it crosses the first cut and reconnects with what’s left of the old trail. Today was … Continue reading
