Hey Captain,

I've seen MANY trails opened up over the last 5+ years in Meshomasic, too. Especially in the last 3 yrs they have been widened, extended and obstacles, ramps, jumps and technical features built. Some have even been blazed. I don't think it is limited to mountain bikers, I've seen dirt bikes and their tracks back among the trails, too.

Take a walk on the trail (on which the Meshamosic Letterbox is located) along Buck Brook. Quite the extensive development back there...

I've also noted extensively developed trails and features back behind the old Nike Missile Silo site.

It looks like they are beginning to develop features on the trails along the South-West flank of Meshamosic Mountain, too.

I've also observed dirt bikes on the trails at the other side of Rte. 2 between the state firearms range (exit 11 West) and the Planeta Rd. Fish and Game Club (E. Glastonbury F&G?).

If an Encon Officer wants a guide, I'm willing... However, I don't think anyone would have any trouble finding what I've seen.
