Seems like a lot less work for the awesome volunteers to lay the logs length wise rather than perpendicular. Consider it a bridge.

Great conditions today. The trail gnome fixes were all tasteful. I removed a couple down tree hazards and tried to kick some fill into the only puddle still there.

A tree is down about 50-100 yards before the B-C split. A hand saw will do it for it's no more than 3" in diameter. I didn't have one. Except that, the trail condition was great on A+B this evening (5/12), mostly dry and occasionally adequately moist.

Rode some of B and all of C and D yesterday evening. The only things to report are on D loop. There were a couple saplings that were knocked/bent over the trail between the 13 and 13.5 markers. I bent them out of the way the best I could... with the storm last night they're probably back. And then just before the 14 mile marker there is part of a tree over the trail. It's a substantial piece, but nothing a hand saw can't handle.
