As promised,

here is a trail update full of the photos and video that you just can't find anywhere else. I won't save the best for last, because the best is just too damn good. What I'm referring to is the new Pro Line on Dirt Merchant. Pro Line on Dirt Merchant!? what What WHAT!? That's right. Yesterday, the trail crew you know and love, decided to put a wooden booter about 8 feet before the dirt booter that sends you over the Creek Gap on Dirt Merchant. I comprised a short video that can be found on youtube right here for full screen, or at the bottom of the page. You can view the photos below:

Aside from the new booter on Dirt Merchant, the trail crew has spent a lot of time rebuilding sections of Devil's Club. There were some sloppy sections on the trail that just cried out to be bridged over. so we did. and here's the proof:

cedar stringers
deck the trails with slats of lumber
