Numbered list (see notes below)
1. Remove flags and survey tape from mile 1 to 2.5
2. Continue rough clearing along MARKED corridor.
3. Buff new section of trail at end. Rake, pull roots, etc...
4. Trim hedge bushes (privet) along the older section of trail near mile 1 to 1.5.
5. Pick-up old trash that is located between the trail and road near the two old campground gates.
Notes
1. We have removed all flags and flagging tape between the entrance (at the sidewalk) to around mile 1 to 1.5. And from the start of the rocky section (mile 2.5) to the end (Mile 4.0) The section between 1 and 2.5 still needs to be "de-flagged". We used 5-gallon buckets and picked up trash as we went. If you completely fill a bucket, dump it on the camp road (not the entrance road, the road inside the gates) and we'll pick it up later. Try to only make one or two piles and keep it together so it won't spread.
2. Do not blaze away unless it's marked and you know what you are following.
4. Cut branches back to where they fork so you don't leave sharp points along the trail.
5. Most of this trash is old. Either haul off or make a neat pile beside the road so the COE can haul it off. It's now visible while riding due to the winter and no leaves to hid it. This section of trail is along the first part of the rocky section, before the pump station.
Thanks for all the hard work - it's starting to really show!!!

Steve, you're the man. I'll do what I can to get down there and pick up some trash.
Looks like someone picked flags in one area, or it may have been a night ride delusion? Trail was in good shape tonight, will likely be wet sometime soon for s few days.
There is about 500 ft that has been opened up but not raked, buffed. If you the the urge - go out and yank some roots.
The new sections were a hoot.
