Fallen Tree Free

A lot of trees had fallen on the Canal trail due to the high winds and severe storms. Some of the trees were rideable (kinda), some not so much. To increase the overall flow of the trail Ross, Jimmy, and I decided to do some work. Equipped with a Stihl Chainsaw, work gloves, and lopers we made our way into the woods. There was a total of 5 trees across the trail and within 1.5 hours we were able to get the entire trail clear. No more cyclocrossing on the MTB trail! Another reward of our work party was the prehistoric looking turtle we walked up on in the middle of the trail. This guy was pretty big, had a crazy tail, and a gangsta attitude. Instead of hiding in his shell like most, big man decided to come at us mouth open and ready to snap.

Been really interesting if that thing had've gotten a hold of Jimmy's nose!
