1st patrol completed!

M.A and R.A. got out to the West Magnolia system over the weekend to clean up a few of the many fallen trees blocking the trails, some of which are already creating alternate paths around the obstructions. Bow saw and one quarter horsepower patroller later...




Good to go! The BMBP does provide some basic trail maintenance for the FS on the West Magnolia system though from personal experience I don't recommend carrying a saw around on your back (I cut out about 6 spokes in my front wheel in a wreck later on...). Remember that whatever work we do needs to be compatible with the horses that use this area as well as bikers and hikers and when in doubt contact the Patrol Director or the FS before any major work.
