On our way to place safety signs on the forest road leading to the hole I fell into when a big tree fell into the creek, we were stopped cold by a tree down. We promptly turned the Ranger around and went back to the farm to get Sid and the chainsaw.

The tree broke off on the creek side of the road.

Oh no … another obstruction! The chain came off the saw, and Sid walked back to the house, so Bill manhandled the tree out of the way.

The first sign warns Ranger riders that this forest road is no longer a throughway.

Another “no thru vehicle traffic sign” was placed on the other end of the road.

No vehicles signs were placed on either side of the stretch of road where the hole exists.

We placed the game camera in a spot we are sure to catch some wildlife.
