Thanks so much. As a solo hiker I have always carefully watched the storms to see what effect it would have on my hiking. Right now with everything done, I'm just sitting back relaxed enjoying whatever comes my way.
Thanks for the green square of approval. About trail maintenance -- I contacted Craig Sanborn of the Cardigan Highlanders (the group does work on trails on/near Cardigan) about this and am working with him to figure out some sort of time for doing this. I can keep you in the loop, if you're interested...?
