Storm Aftermath

As expected, Irene littered the trail system with many small limbs and in some areas entire trees are down across the trails, alas one on the newly opened Trinity Spur. Please comment as to the location of major trail blockages with a reference to the trail mileposts on the East Side Trail map, so that we may remove them and make the trails passable once again. For smaller limbs we ask that trail users take a minute to move them aside for the benefit of all. Thanks for your help!

Irene Preparations

A hurricane is bearing down on the Atlantic seaboard,
portions of NYC are being evacuated,
a state of emergency is declared in Massachusetts,

What would you do?

Well, as for Gene and I, we installed the new trailhead sign at the Trinity Spur this morning!





More than that, neighbors showed up and offered stories, shovels, wheelbarrows, and assistance in the effort.
What the heck! It was still sunny and we were anxious to get the sign up.

Besides, Gene had gotten up at dawn to freshen the yellow blazes on the trail so that they would have adequate time to dry before the rains hit, and as long as he was already out there.....

Now for removing storm debris after this is all over....
