diamond hitch

I know this will likely fall on deaf ears but here goes. I went out yesterday for a little conditioning on a segment of the continental divide trail. I know that maintenance is on a volunteer basis but minimum safety standards should be attempted. The tread is usually 14-16 inches but I learned to maintain pack bump space of 4 ft on both sides of the trail. What I experienced were logs cut at chest height, 18-20 inches wide. Leaners below 10 ft should be pulled down. I get lazy like everyone but I see some crazy stuff out there.
Similar issues on roads. If you can clear it for a vehicle in August, cutting it 4 ft wider so you don't slide into it during elk season shows fore-thought and planning. I don't like lectures anymore than anyone else but as us old guys exit the environment we ought to leave some standards learned from a lifetime.
Now let the grumping begin.
