The hardest part of adopting a section of trail is maintaining the corridor- a 3 foot perimeter around the singletrack. It involves cutting any small trees, overhanging branches, and underbrush. It was obvious that most of the trail hadn&#8217;t had such care in a while. So, I slowly made my way down the trail with a handsaw, stopping to cut something back or off every 10-50 feet. It took me 4.5 hours (giving me a total hiking time just short of 6 hours).<\/p>\n<p>The inherent nature of trail clearing\u00c3\u201a  is both destructive and preservative at the same time. There&#8217;s also the beauty and solitude of the woods&#8230; it&#8217;s very zen-like.<\/p>\n<p>Along the way, I took some photos of the icicles &amp; whatnot&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/under.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1624\" title=\"under\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/under-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"under\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/under-224x300.jpg 224w, http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/under.jpg 449w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/overflow.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1620\" title=\"overflow\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/overflow-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"overflow\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/overflow-224x300.jpg 224w, http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/overflow.jpg 449w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/thick.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1622\" title=\"thick\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/thick-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"thick\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/thick-224x300.jpg 224w, http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/thick.jpg 449w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/over.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1619\" title=\"over\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/over-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"over\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/over-224x300.jpg 224w, http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/over.jpg 449w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>My favorite part of the trail is the section along the top of Cedar Scrappy Mountain:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/cedar.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1616\" title=\"cedar\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/cedar-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"cedar\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/cedar-224x300.jpg 224w, http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/cedar.jpg 449w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/cedar2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1617\" title=\"cedar2\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/cedar2-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"cedar2\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/cedar2-224x300.jpg 224w, http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/cedar2.jpg 449w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/microforest.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1618\" title=\"microforest\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/microforest-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"microforest\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/microforest-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/microforest.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I dolled up Turbo&#8217;s already fabulous collar so that she&#8217;d look a little less like a deer or rhinestone-wearing coyote.
