Found DEVASTATION today when I checked on my adopted Martha’s Mile Trail. There are many segments of the trail that are impassable due to a jumble of fallen trees, many of which are HUGE. Workarounds are ‘challenging’, at best, due to numerous fallen trees that are in same vicinity as those that are blocking the trail corridor. A chainsaw crew will be needed to handle at least some of this.
Don’t know if it will be enacted, but have recommended that the Forest Service place a sign at the trailhead for the Cherry Mountain Trail, and Owls Head Trail to advise hikers that Martha’s Mile is currently impassable and no attempt should be made to hike between Owl’s Head and Mt. Martha.
Regarding the CHERRY MOUNTAIN TRAIL approach to MARTHA’S MILE, there are numerous large blowdowns on that trail as well. However, unlike Martha’s Mile, it is possible to work around them.
All of this damage was, of course, caused by the intense wind storm that hit our area a few days ago.
