A PSA for the ellerbe creek railroad grade: when I arrived this afternoon, the cut-through trail was covered over by a small mountain of muddy logs that had been dredged up from the creek (they were pushed up against the bridge in the water and blocking the flow of the creek) by the dozer on railroad wheels on the trestle. So: I recommend that folks accessing this hotspot to continue straight onto the MST connector trail and get onto the railroad from the paved cutover. The brush and saplings along both sides of the western riprap had been ripped up and dragged out, too, and the trestle is covered with mud and debris, so be careful crossing.
