Short-cutting the log steps at Marshall Mesa

The city put in a couple extra logs at the marshall Mesa intersection North of Greenbelt plateau a few months back. Those extra logs make it really hard to get up compared to the past. So it seems as a result people decided to short-cut them.

I did some impromptu trail work here today on my patrol. The results are shown below. However, this looks to be an unsustainable fix. I'm worried people will continue to bypass the logs in some form.



Otherwise, it was an excellent day to be out riding.
