Mediocre tree down on the French Connection reroute. Great opportunity for a log bridge? or better opportunity for a chainsaw?

Please do not remove this log, it is completely rideable both during the day and in the dark of the night. This is an awesome log for expanding your techincal riding ablity.

I totally agree with chopper. Just rode it today and its height and width are no greater than the other logs spread across the HPT trail system. It makes a great addition to the bluff's remarkable trails. Thank you mother nature for putting that tree where it belongs!

Never mind... apparently this log was deemed too tough by some and it has since been lowered to ground level. It was fun, now it just like every other 10" log. Oh well.

Rode the log yesterday. It would have been a lot more fun had it not been altered. I was excited to try the new log but instead was disappointed. *sigh*

Is it possible that a wind-fallen tree was further displaced by bikes riding over it, and sunk to a more final resting place on the forest floor?

Sure, and right after is hit the final resting place it whipped out the chainsaw and crosshatched itself... it was lowered on purpose, no big deal. It was a fun log to test yourself on while it lasted.
