Munson Assessment September 09

Some snaps from a public tour of Munson Hills Trails' east side with US Forestry's Jim Schmid, Sherry Gaston, and Trail Dynamics' Valerie Naylor. JANUARY 2010 NEWS: Munson/TZ Trail Assessment from Trail Dynamics' Valerie Naylor. Optional experimental link to the same file. Please let me know if you have any trouble accessing the file via that experimental link. Keep up with all things Munson at some of these links: Ken Foster's Munson blog. USFS' Jim Schmid has a Munson/Twilight Zone blog as well. Dixie Davis, along with Linc Clay and Ken admin this "Fans of Munson Hills/Twilight Off-Road Bike Trails" Facebook page. Tallahassee Mountain Bike Association webpage. Videos are posted, but not in chronological order. Videos take a bit longer for me to screw up, and I'm attempting some geotagging of "on the trail" shots. So I'll be screwing that up as well. It just takes longer now... GPS track of the 12 Sep 09 assessment tour. Yes, I didn't start the track till I was in the woods just off the entrance trail.

Tall Pine Shortcut:
Dealing with the fall line issues at the north end to maintain the fun factor without having it continue to cave in. At pond level, move line south into the trees.
On the way to the south end, minimal issues. Perhaps a small demonstration section near FR 379 crossing.
