This article is a repost from trail zombie. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. If you like running at Turkey Mountain then you will hate to see what they are doing to our beautiful trails.
The far west side of Turkey Mountain is being leveled. Prepping for commercial developement. I talked to a pleasant gentleman who was operating one of the Caterpillers. He told me that the land was not sold, but they were cleaning the property up, removing briers and deadfall. They said they were leaving the good oak, hackberry, and pecan trees.
I was trying to stay out of sight, but he stopped his machine and walked over to ask if he could help me. I am sure that the owner had warned them that there might be some "resistance" to this work. I know the landowner has every right to sell his land. And the equipment operators are just doing a job they are hired to do. I'ts just sad that we are losing 53 acres and about 2 miles of super trailz.
