         First, I want to say this is an excellent example of how to write a report as it includes pics of the deadfall from both angles, a map with an “X”, plus another map as a screenshot with the GPS location.

        In terms of this deadfall, it is not much of an obstruction. There is a nicely-used bypass now. What this does is create a natural grade reversal. This over time allows the old portion of the trail that is literally under the deadfall to perhaps stop getting so eroded and allow rain water (with a little volunteer work) to start flowing off the trail. The trail segment just above this deadfall can get so wet its like a creek during wet periods and is eroded enough it may be a good idea to reroute from the deadfall workaround up to the pavement as well.

        Another example where local volunteers decided to leave a deadfall on the trail is at the top of Sinawik Loop, almost at the stone bridge. Water flows off that trail now and the bypass around that deadfall also slows traffic just before a busy intersection. In other words, sometimes deadfalls get promoted to “features” if they can strategically serve a trail maintenance or safety goal.

        And again, this was a great example of how to report issues: with lots of pics! Thank you.
