Illinois Mt & Shaupaneake & Lippman get leaf blown.

909 & Blue Mt do not. They get enough traffic where the leaves get mulched in and are beneficial to the health of the trail tread.

Shaupeneak is leaf blown as of this AM! Everything except the white trail (the downhill to the lower lot).

Trails are in great shape and recently cleared.

Thank a trail gnome next time you see one, or better yet, get involved with your local land manager and blow some trails. The club has a blower for this very reason.

Lippman is no longer leaf blown.
Most trails are well ridden in and you can see the trail imprint.
Trail 3 is hard to read for me, but you can't get lost on that one as it folds back on itself so much.
We experience far less frost heaving and the damage that it does to the trails on sidehills by not blowing the cover off.
