Rail Trail Blockage

This big branch must have landed with a mighty thump across the Maloney Road entrance to the Dutchess Rail Trail:

Yeah, some jerk ran a snowmobile up the slope around the tree, leaving a pile of dirt on the ramp. So it goes.

We took an alternate route, I emailed The Right Folks, and (most of) the tree vanished two days later; evidently, the property owner gets to deal with everything to the left of the line of trees.
