Rerouting Northern Trail

This morning I entered the Woods NE Gate and worked on the new North Rim Trail. I rerouted a portion of the trail around the rabbit warren / animal den at the base of the oak snag and placed blue topped cedar posts at 50 m intervals. This area of the Woods appears to have a greater diversity of young trees. Walnut is fairly common in the junipers. Walnut is known for allelopathic poisoning of the soil. I wonder if Juniper are tolerant.
Decades past, an east west band of the Woods was cut and trenched to bury sewer line (same line as Pipeline Trail) .. manhole cover is north near fence.. rather anomalous. I discovered one more of Carpenter's 1955 posts up near the northern fence line NE of the ravine trail. I'll rename the entire ravine and north rim trails as one combined North Rim Trail and use red dots with the blue blazes. The trail is 350 m from the jct with the Trans OWP trail by the West Pond to the jct with the Northern Loop near the Western Wash.
I also flagged a tentative possible link north to the fence boundary where a new gate could be useful. Lots of poison ivy at the northern end and a small animal passage dug out beneath the fence. Good for camera.
It continues to be very dry The pool above island crossing is dry; but good chance of rain Monday.
I distributed the 66 twenty two inch heavy steel rods (for 50 m trail markers): 25 at NE Gate, 25 at Ponds Entrance and 16 at SW Gate. Another two or three dozen would be enough. Have not figured out the best way to tag/ label markers.
