week 1

The first couple days of Senior Project I spent scouting the woods, looking for possible sites for my trail. I found many different features that I wanted to incorporate into the trail, and I also located wet spots and rock faces that were best to stay away from. I found a good starting position off the main trail with a cool natural roller built by tree roots and dirt. I raked the first portion of trail in one huge effort, but came to a halt when I got closer to mud pond. Rocks littered the way in front of me. It turned out to be nearly an impass for me and my trail. The amount of time I had left in my project was not enough time for me to be able to work through the rocks and build a rideable trail through. A job like this needed many more hands and many more precious hours. I decided to re-evaluate my main goal of completing the trail end to end. Instead I focused on making the beginning section of trail as fun as possible and leave it there for others to complete.
