That's weird. It also rings a bell. Didn't we have a problem with that somewhere around here last year? Those aren't trails that the TRCA wants to close, are they?

No, right across the main bruce in Palgrave West, the Salty Steven singletrack, other doubletrack... Luckily the a*hole is a bit of a wuss as they're not big logs, just arm-thick stuff. Sigh.

From my log in Sept. 2013:

There's been some passive-aggressive vigilante stuff going on around here. Someone illegally boarded up the entrance from the Reddington subdivision into Palgrave Forest and Wildlife Area. This is part of 'Bent's commute, and this forced him to cross Hwy 50 with dogs in a place where most cars go 80-100 kph. The people who bought houses in Reddington with the plan of using the Palgrave trails were not happy either. The TRCA took down the boards today.

And last night on the way home from work, 'Bent found a bunch of small logs lying across the Bruce Side Trail in Palgrave West. The meaning is unclear but someone may be opposed to the small number of bikes that travel on this trail. It is so rare to see another person in Palgrave West that my heart rate rises about 20 bpm when it happens. I have a hard time believing there is a problem.

And I'm not paranoid but I am wondering why I had a fish hook and a bunch of line attached to my bike shoe when I got home. Hopefully, there is a good explanation for that...
