Report Type: TM Report:
Trail Name: Upper Paugussett State Forest
Town: Newtown
Trail Conditions: Better but there are still issues
Observations/Information: Having the day off today I went in to open the Gussy back up. The access road to the Echo Valley lot is open but I don't know about the Poly Brody.
On the section of the Gussy from the ROW to the Jeep road I cleared 10 blockages and had to reroute a section on the back side of the roller that crosses the blue trail. There is now a drop there that you can ride or ride around it if you don't want to go big.
Heading north of the ROW I cleared another 13 more blockages up to the top of the new Re-Route, which by the way is now the main part of the trail.
The fall line descent, aka The Taco Stand, is officially closed with a few trees down and many branches blocking the trail. I had to route around another blockage in the same vicinity that ties in nicely with the new re-route, too.
There are a few more on the lead in from the Poly Brody but I ran out of time and was totally exhausted.
Of course if I had a chainsaw, it probably would have been easier but I didn't. I used my pruning saw, portable clippers, and a Friskas Hatchet.
