I think the signs should say something along the lines of ride at your own risk and you will be billed for any emergency rescues you cause.

you sound like someone else on here! ;D
 
We did some riding, and discussed some things. Let's see, we all agree and discussed some things on the drop before the high doom line. I think we all agreed the high line around the tree is fine as is. Looked at no-dab ridge and discussed a few things to talk with Art about. We also looked at a couple of spots on Gatorback that are gonna need some love, or the rainy season is gonna be very bad there.
 
The biggest and most urgent spot IMO is the drop before the Doom drop, it is pushing out badly. We'll have to run the fix by Art, but I think it needs some lumber to shore up the side, and then a bunch of rocks carried in kinda like we did that climb on Shelly's. But we'll run it by the trail boss, maybe he has something else in mind. ;)

I may be wrong, but I don't think anything will be done there either. More of an effort to keep people off that don't belong. If too many people start getting hurt then the land managers might make us change or destroy something so it can't be ridden, and we don't want that right?
 
Another spot I thought of is towards the end of Gatorback, off-camber left turn before the drop with the big root at the top and the pavers. It has pushed off and is now very narrow. Still rideable now, but this summer may change that so we might have to fix it.
