Barring a rain-out I'll be on North Creek tonight after 6:00 with machete in hand to get those face slappers cut back.

thank you for that...one temporarily blinded me saturday after that first small bridge near the beginning and I took the turn sharp into a root a flipped...was going a tad too fast and then couldn't see for a sec (since I don't wear protective eye gear!).
It's all fun and games 'til someone loses an eye.  Then it's just a game: FIND THE EYE!!!

no worries now, should be much better.
took care of the one at the first bridge and a vine that threatens to hang us like a noose.  got the real bushy one on the dirty S turn and all the rest of them too.

thinking a gas trimmer or a scythe would go a long way on the edging, of course the scythe would look wicked cool.  :)
