So. This is on a section of trail called Short Circuit, which is a side trail on the lower Powerline trail.
It is a piece of old fence that was used to block the line straight down as that’s not an official trail (that goes off to the right) that we thought was ripped out and disposed of long ago, but someone obviously found it and repurposed it to turn it into a trap.
Hopefully, when at night this would’ve been easily seen given you have to slow to go right, but if you were going straight on it would’ve been tricky to avoid.
We know who the likely culprit is, as we’ve had issues with the same individual over many years. Certain trails are always having branches and logs placed on them, and at one point we had 3-400 roofing tacks down a trail.
Someone will catch him at it one day and he’ll get a well-deserved hoof in the slats, owned with bombers, and pissy shoes.
It was clear when i went the last evenings.
Edit: the reporting is shit. And Chopwell Trail Builders built Short Circuit.
