Good for Sunday, if that is convenient for you and others.
There is a group heading out Sunday. We will split into 3-4 man crews with a chainsaw. Bring a folding handsaw or (what I like) a lopper to trim face slappers.

We will be leaving from HGC staging area at 9:30 Sunday, so you need to be there around 9:00.

Cleared:

- Sleepy Hollow
- Fanny Hill

Worked on Mair Lake. But it is a mess! From Fanny Hill split got almost to the camp site along the trail, but there were 3 more 20inch plus trees to cut. So we turned around and had to do some cutting to get out to Arcol Road. I'm betting there might be a day more work on Mair Lake.

Out yesterday. The plan was to re-ride and clear trails that we'd already cleared and start working on Perch Lake, we never made it to Perch Lake and couldn't finish re-clearing claim jumper, it's still blocked.

Mair Lake cleared today! Basicly 2 full days to clear.

Went into River Run from Mtn Chute Express, it's a mess as well, got almost to the creek (1km?)

Worked with AJ and Faron today... BFH and SOT are clear. We then started on the south side of Deliverance, but ran out of water before we could complete the whole thing. That said, the north entrance already had work done, so it is likely pretty close to being complete.

Awesome! There’s some serious trees down on the south end of Deliverance. I was able to come in from the north entrance and clear ~3/4 of the trac then ran out of time & energy. There’s one tree mid-way too big for my saw.

Can anybody provide a status on what fraction of the trails are open, i.e. 10% or 90% or ? %
We are planning a trip for end of August, just want to know if we should cancel.

The North Side is cleared. I guess 60-80% of South side is clear. There are good loops open on the south and this thread is kept pretty up to date. So, yes, come, but bring a handsaw in case you have to absolutely get around something newly down.
