Today's hike was fun. Gleefully repaired trail damage.
Today Karen and I hike five miles above Squilchuck State Park.
Last week, we discovered rogue mountain bikers had damaged Deep Woods trail, making it more narrow and dangerous. In addition to cutting off the trail on the drop-off side, they piled up sharp logs against the trail. If a bicyclist falls, they will get hurt.
Karen was wearing sandals. "Do you want to roll the logs downhill?" she asked.
With sturdy boots and gloves, I gleefully kicked and hurled branches and logs far downhill to cleanup the trail, but not so far they'd hit the trail below. Stopped by tree trunks. Perfect.
That was satisfying.
