Armoring on the Mulikin

Found this nice stream armor on the Mulikin Trail the other day.  In case you are wondering where the Mulikin Trail is, I have highlighted on the map below.  The armoring is the third stream crossing on the trail, also marked on the map below from top to bottom.

Looking up the re-route

Looking down the re-route

A little rake and ride action leading to this rock jump?

More of a kicker than anything.

Top of the Hill:  Poly Brody to the left and Mulikin to the right

Looking back down the Poly Brody

Really?

Firewood

No more use for the re-route?

The Gussy is looking dry

Blown

Windy conditions last week have blown the Gussy Trail
and it's riding really sweet

The Mulikin Trail is Reopened!

The Trail Gnomes have been busy, opening the Mulikin Trail up
after the Hurricane and Snotober.

The Hurricane brought down this tree completely blocking the trail.
There was a crudely forming go around but that's no longer necessary.

Cuttings from the big tree are being used bridge this muddy spot.
If it were me, I would just route around it all together.

The Equestriennes are back!

 

It's not like they ever went away but they don't seem to ride much in winter.
Their presence seems to be smelled more than anything.



It's not that they are not welcomed, afterall the Upper Gussy Trail is a shared used use trail.
It's really more of the fact that they refuse to clean up after their horses.

And the argument of it's just chewed up grass doesn't really fly.
How about I eat celery and carrots for a week and take a crap in your front yard?
It's just chewed up vegetable matter, right?

All I am saying here, is when your horse does a dutie on the trail,
please dismount and kick that shit off the trail!
Afterall, shit is still shit.
