Back on Feb 28th I spent a couple of hours Late Sunday afternoon fixing the stream washout at the North Bridge Connector. An amazing amount of water must have cascaded down the hill to pull this much dirt with it. That event ended up diverting the flow over to the connector trail and causing complete havoc. The wall we built back in 2010 (

| thinner channel dig - barriers reinforced and created to route the water flow further downhill |
 |
| at the time, it appeared the trail might need rerouting... |
I returned a month later (Mar 27th) and snapped a couple of photos. Amazingly, it looks like the trail has flattened out and a reroute is not necessary - just a thinning using leaf cover.
