On the ASB trail in Harriman State Park, south of Island Pond, in the section of trail between the two Island Pond Roads: The wet area through which there is pond drainage has gotten much wetter. Some digging on the downstream side might permit faster drainage; it looks as if stepping stones are also needed. Here's a link to a Google photo, taken 5/7/2017: https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipMswlt3EjfcNdLfQDDJAYfy6ek_zr0_UHrR...

Due to continued hemlock death, there are many large blowdowns on the ASB trail south and east of Island Pond in Harriman State Park. I counted 13 on May 7th (not all huge, but many are) between approximately 41°14'44.7", -74°08'31.7" and 41°15'08.0", 74°08'08.9" (coordinates from Avenza map; hope they're accurate).

You probably already know about this, but just in case: large blow down on ASB, at 41°14'51.7", -74°08'21.2" Photo: https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipMv-05axe0uZMmM9Y90dfckueBp8IqRhxHa... Walk arounds are difficult and messy. Thank you!

4 or 5 trees blocking the Nurian (white marker) trail going down from red-dot (Ramapo-Dunderberg) trail to White Bar and a few more on the stretch going northwest towards the Island POnd Road.

After crossing the Ramapo River on the bridge. About 200 yards further a large blowdown tree is blocking the trail. Vegetation is heavy on the trail making it very difficult to pass this point.

I think these are along the Green Halifax, Blue, and then red/silver trails, I believe.

First blowdown: Lat 41.098463; Lon -74.196144
Second: Lat 41.099349; Lon -74.198013
third: Lat 41.099952; Lon -74.199679
4th: Lat 41.104034; Lon -74.206506
5th: Lat 41.099566; Lon -74.217431
6th: Lat 41.089557; Lon -74.211661
7th: Lat 41.088646; Lon -74.211606

Hiked the RD Trail today and encountered more than a dozen trees and limbs blocking the trail. some are new from the past tropical storm but many of them are old trees which have been blocking the trail so long that new "temporary" trails have been cut around them. The trees are very large and need to be cut from the trail path. The section of the RD is from the intersection of the RD and Triangle Trail to the end of the trail in Tuxedo.
