Re: [RC] Lake Carl Blackwell trail - Barbara McCrary
Having had a lot of experience around bulldozers, I
find it hard to believe anyone would have used one on a horse trail. Those
things create a swath 12 feet wide...at least the ones that ran all over our
ranch cutting fire breaks in August did. Of course, some dozers have
narrower blades than 12', but still, I doubt anyone would have used one to widen
a trail. The cleats on the tracks tear up the ground badly, too. A
trail machine, maybe? Or a very small dozer? Or a tractor with a
blade?
I said they bulldozed it
but that does not mean that the trail is still not beautiful! The trail that
rides right along the lake is still absolutely amazing it is just wider so
that you do not hit your knees! The trails at this time of the year had
amazing scenery with all the fall leaves coming off the trees and LOTS of
deer!
