Planting posts blows so we're gonna try to keep that part quick and short because...
The bermed corner on farmdale needs to be done because there's a huge waste of momentum there, AND
(I can't wait to get this part done...) After discussion last week with the 6 to 8 doods who were still there at the end, the short steep climb on Blue Mound is being re-routed to allow for the use of the momentum from the drops to (hopefully) have a bermed corner, a short wallride and a longer, less steep, more technical climb. This will also get the trail back from the edge of the cliff, as this was cracked and showed signs of doing the same thing the lost trail did in the spring when the whole hillside fell away.
The climb could have a couple of rocky ups (think of the new drop just after the rock garden, something like that but going UP it instead!) and a piece of tree that was split in 2 as a natural bridge/skinny over the watershed at the top. (it's HEAVY! Anyone got a come along?)
This Blue Mound thing is tied with getting some more posts in as top priority. We're planning on having 2 trail bosses and as many doods as we can fit on the hill working to try to get this thing done before winter.
Can we do it in 1 day? That depends on how many friends you bring with you to help!!
Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.
