Old-school trails & NSMBA Strategic Plan

Is Lower Executioner the part below Dreamweaver or the part below where Ramble On starts?

I would say below Dreamweaver .

It does seem there's some confusion about what exactly Lower Executioner is. It's the trail almost exactly opposite where Executioner exits on to Dreamweaver. It's almost a five way intersection there: Executioner exit, Lower executioner entrance, Dreamweaver up and down, and climb trail merge.

I'm not trying to correct Brocklanders, just trying to clarify "below".

As an infrequent Fromme visitor, whether riding or running, heading east or west, about 50% of the time I end up on a trail other than the one I want when I pass through that intersection.

I always wondered where some of the Executioner features went, I stopped riding it for a few years and when I went back it seemed different. Guess that's been explained.

I rode Upper Crippler for the first time in maybe a decade last summer. Some of the old relics gave me flashbacks, as if I came upon something from a half remembered dream. On seeing some of them again it really made me wonder WTF we were thinking back then?

The new woodwork at the bottom of lower-lower-lower crippler is looking fantastic

1!

Its finished now and it sweet! slow, janky and the ride around fits in with the rest of the trail, with this, the new(ish) work on upper-lower crippler and the new log ride on Severed-D things are really looking up IMO. I was able to have a conversation with one of the NSMBA higherups this weekend and apparently they are moving forward with a planned, brand new new double black on Fromme (very tentatively going to say it might be a pink starfish replacement given the context of when it was brought up), with work starting sometime this year.

Very cool!

This is great news! I was surprised we even got Deer John, a rock roll and a small drop! My goodness!

To give you some context, conversation for this trail started when I was on the board in 2015, I'm happy that it's edging forward.
