Trail Comment	Maple Arches Trail past the first beach has clearly not had any maintenance in recent times. I quit counting blowdowns after exceeding a couple dozen, clearing one. Most can be stepped over, but several require completely leaving the trail to pass around. An appropriately trained chainsaw sawyer will be needed. As a loop trail, the design is to first follow the shoreline and then return higher up the hillside. One collapsed section will need to be formally rerouted.
Hike Comment	Sunday morning’s goal was to tackle the long hiker/horse trail along the Cherokee Lake shore, with a stop planned to listen to morning worship and study which is not included in the hike duration. (One bar cell strength did drain the phone battery.) A quiet time before the Labor Day weekend boats were launched.
