Not to add a downer to the process but..

I was out early this morning and saw some new fences torn out of the ground and left behind. This is the unofficial connector at the intersection of Doug hill and Lusardi had been fenced off. The trail was a short cut between two sections of the Lusardi trail to avoid a fire road climb where it drops down to the bridge and back up. While we all have used it at some point, it was never part of the trails plan.

I doubt it was one of us and I am sure I am preaching to the choir but whether you agree or not, this is not the way to handle it. There are regular Black Mountain Open Space meetings where you can come and voice your concerns.

If you know who or have an idea, please ask them to stop.

Matt, I saw that torn down fence on my Monday night ride, so it's been there at least a couple of days now. Looked like it was simply pulled out and dropped on the ground. Strange, but similar to the same kind of fence at the top of Black Mtn. that someone has been deconstructing piece by piece over the last year or so.
