As seen out on our trails today.
Ain't that the truth. Everywhere the climate and vegetation is different but here, some trail is gone in a few years.I made and maintained a 4wd trail for years until dad sold the property… 3 years later and it was impassable and 5 years after the sale to the city any trace is fast disappearing.
I laugh to myself when certain elements claim alterations man made linger for decades or centuries… when I can see my work return to nature in a short 5 years and I’m sure in 10 with no trace…
At the house where I was born, there was a 90' escarpment overlooking a lake. My father built about 150 steps down to the lake. It consisted of switchbacks to navigate the steep slope, and was made entirely out of salvaged broken concrete sidewalk pieces that he'd pick up for free. Every spring we'd scrape back any soil and leaves that accumulated over the winter, clear any vegetation, and repair any frost damage with concrete pieces and cement. It would always take a few days each spring. Great memories of family projects.I made and maintained a 4wd trail for years until dad sold the property… 3 years later and it was impassable and 5 years after the sale to the city any trace is fast disappearing.

If I was a jokester a well placed granite memorial stone would create a topic of discussion into the next century a or longer…

Big yes, but didn't weight much, pretty punky. Would still kill sawyer.That was a huge dead-fall hanging there.
