Learn how to create your own snap to house your application and use Rigado Edge Direct to deploy that app on your development gateway. To simplify this tutorial, the starting point will be the Node.js Hello World snap from Exploring the Hello World Snap. You will learn to build that snap without changing the source.
After you test on your local computer to iterate quickly, you will use Edge Direct tools to deploy the app to the gateway. Later tutorials will demonstrate a few modifications to the source to change the application's behavior.
When you complete this tutorial, you will have an environment set up to build your own application prototype running on the gateway, be able to monitor for Edge Compute utilization, and be ready to run a proof-of-concept deployment from Edge Direct.
To complete this tutorial you will need the following items. The terms in bold are referenced throughout the document.
A Cascade-500 Gateway - The system for running the snap in production. It includes an Edge Direct agent for monitoring app and security updates.
A Development Host - This computer or virtual machine should have Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and will be used to edit source files, test scripts, and interact with the snapcraft CLI. It may have any architecture (amd64, x86, etc). This device must have an HCI0 interface with BLE enabled.
A Build Host - NodeJS snaps are not cross-compilable, so this build computer must have an armhf processor architecture and have sufficient resources to build the snap. The Raspberry Pi 3 is recommended because it has the armhf architecture, and can run the Ubuntu Core OS (which simplifies the build process). See Prerequisites for Developing your own Snap for more information on setting up a Raspberry Pi.
A USB Adapter for Bluetooth Low-Energy - If your Development Host does not have an internal Bluetooth radio, this is required.
A Thingy - the Nordic Thingy:52 sensor platform, flashed with stock firmware.
An Edge Direct account, and access to the Edge Direct web-application (or the Rigado command-line tool).
Since you'll be creating your own application, the first thing you should do is register the name you want to use. This name must be globally unique among all snap names. We recommend prepending or appending your organization name, for example: acme-hello-world. Your snap will be published to your private Store, so you control which devices can install your snap, but the namespace for snaps covers all Stores.
Click the create app button in the top right corner.
Enter your preferred name, and the modal will check if that name is available.
Once you've entered an available name, click the REGISTER button.
Later on we'll use this name in the snap source code.
The rest of this tutorial will use the app name example-hello-world.
In order to accelerate and simplify the development process, we recommend that you develop and test your applications on a local host instead of directly on the gateway.
We strongly recommend you use a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Workstation. The rest of this tutorial, and the following ones, will assume your Development Host is running Ubuntu 16.04.
ensure that Bluetooth pass-through from the host is enabled. Your VM application may have an option to allow the VM to use the native or USB-connected Bluetooth device. If your VM does not support Bluetooth, you will need a different solution for your Development Host.
Install Node.js (>=6.11.4). We recommend you use the section "How to Install Using a PPA" of this guide.
Since this application is written in Node.js, running on the Development Host enables faster iteration for testing changes without needing to build and deploy on the gateway.
Plug in USB Adapter for Bluetooth, if needed.
The application is a daemon which discovers nearby Thingy devices and retransmits sensor data to an MQTT Broker. By default, the daemon connects to the first available Thingy and sends all data to a public MQTT Broker according to an internal configuration file.
After the application successfully discovers the first Thingy and connects, the Thingy will start blinking green.
Open the Rigado Playground MQTT client.
Change the Subscription Topic to /gateway/GATEWAY_SERIAL/sensors where GATEWAY_SERIAL is the placeholder for the hostname of your Development Host.
The gateway hostname matches its serial number.
The data from the Thingy is sent to the cloud.
See the Rigado Playground https://playground.rigado.com/dashboards/node-hello-world/ to graph the accelerometer data. Later in this tutorial series, we will be modifying the snap and creating our own version of this dashboard.
For now, the Node.js plugin for snapcraft doesn't support a cross-platform build.
Follow the installation guide in Raspberry Pi.
While still logged in to the Raspberry Pi, and in classic mode, install the text editor of your choice.
Copy the source code from the Development Host to the Build Host. This can be done via scp on the command-line. See Raspberry Pi's guide for more information.
Edit the snapcraft.yaml file. Change the value of the name variable to the name you entered in Edge Direct earlier.
Copy the snap over to the Development Host. This can be done via scp on the command-line. See Raspberry Pi's guide for more information.
Switch to the Development Host.
Select your app from the list, and click the Upload your first revision button.
Either drag the snap file onto the modal, or click to browse for the snap file.
When it's done uploading, a modal will ask you if you want to release the app revision to a channel. Select the edge channel and click the RELEASE button.
Open the default bundle, and click the Edit button in the top right corner.
Click the add an app button.
Click the Save button at the top right, and Save again when the confirmation modal pops up.
You can monitor the deployment progress on the Gateways page. Select your gateway and open the Apps list.
The gateway is processing the change while installation command sent is displayed in the Status column of the app list.
Refresh the page to update the view.
Repeat the steps in Testing the Application above to see the data from the gateway. Note that only one system may connect to the Thingy at a time, so make sure the Node.js script is not running on the Development Host when you test on the gateway.
This tutorial included setting up Development and Build Hosts, using the Edge Direct web-application to set up a gateway, and testing your own version of rigado-node-hello-world. In the next tutorial, learn how to modify the source of this snap and deploy the new version to your gateway.

SINGAPORE (Bloomberg) — Goldman Sachs Group Inc. says keeping the faith in commodities is paying off.
Four weeks after the bank called for patience as prices tumbled the most in eight months, most raw materials are back to levels from before the sell-off. Goldman says its own temperance is yielding results as its top 2017 trading recommendation of going long on the S&P GSCI Enhanced Index is back in the money by 7%, according to a report dated April 12.
The bank's confidence is unshaken as it believes macroeconomic data will show improvement, Chinese demand for metals will increase and OPEC's crude production cuts will lead to a decline in oil stockpiles. Goldman maintained its overweight recommendation on commodities and its 3 and 12 month forecasts for gains of 5% and 4%, respectively. Supply uncertainty has been mostly resolved, reinforcing confidence in long-term pricing and leaving demand as the primary focus for the market, according to the note.
The S&P GSCI measure of commodities slid 3.5% last month, its biggest drop since July, amid losses in oil, nickel and sugar on concerns that supplies were abundant. But in April, the gauge is up more than 3% as crude rebounded on optimism the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries will extend its output cuts aimed at easing a global glut. The Bloomberg Commodity Index has gained almost 1% this month after a 2.7% decline in March.

Choose your playlist: How are the arts editors kicking off the semester?
By Katherine Canniff, Josie McNeill and Paterson Tran
September 18, 2022 Updated September 18, 2022 at 6:40 pm
Boston College students are back at school, and they're popping in their ear buds to walk down Comm. Ave., rush to their next class, or take a stroll around the Res. Everyone needs a soundtrack that captures the hope of the new semester—or maybe just makes the commute better.
The arts editors weighed in on their playlist-making philosophies and what they're listening to at the beginning of this semester.
How do you organize your music playlists? Do you usually make playlists depending on the season? Mood? Something else?
Katherine Canniff: I love new beginnings. I love the start of a new year, a new routine, and the excitement of new possibilities. And I'm usually looking for a new soundtrack for a new season (please refer to the opening song, "Seasons Change" by MorMor). For this playlist, I wanted to leave behind the songs that I played on repeat this past summer, so I took a deep dive into the discography of Blood Orange. That dive led me down R&B and electronic rabbit holes that gave me "Sutphin Boulevard" by Blood Orange and Dev Hynes and "Mirror" by Grace Ives. The dancing beats add haste to my daily hustle to campus.
Pat Tran: I usually organize my playlists by different genres. I have one that reminds me of the music my parents listened to when I was growing up, mostly '90s music like The Police. Another is all the music I listened to during my first months at BC last year, which was primarily slow rock. I've been listening to both a lot recently because I like being reminded of where I was when I used to listen to them those first times.
Josie McNeill: I tend to organize my playlists around one song that I love. I just add the songs that come to mind when I am listening to the first one. I have a playlist based around "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd that mostly has songs from the '70s and '80s. It feels nostalgic even though I wasn't alive during that time.
PT: I love Pink Floyd. Anyway, I think that the most common playlists are built around moods like chill songs for the end of the day and new songs that people discover and categorize under specific months rather than seasons.
KC: Well, I'm not talking about patterns of weather. I'm talking about the seasons of life, man. And I want to be listening to "Choreomania" by Florence + The Machine while I'm running away from the library during exam season.
Have there been songs that you have been listening to on repeat in the last few weeks?
JM: All the songs on my fall playlist, such as "Ivy" by Frank Ocean and "Frances Forever" by Mitski, were on my On Repeat playlist on Spotify. There wasn't really a theme in mine. Those are all the songs I am listening to going into fall. But I found "Lottery" by Romancer last year, and I feel like it is the perfect fall song because it talks about autumn leaves falling. I always think about it during this time.
PT: Mine doesn't have a theme either. But really recently I've been listening to Arcade Fire, Interpol, and the Pixies—sort of the same sound that my own band wants to go for as our practices pick up again this semester.
KC: I think I've listened to "Catholic Country" by Kings of Convenience and Feist at least 2,000 times in the past couple of days. "Better Place" by The Q-Tip Bandits has also been on repeat and balances out the more mellow songs I've tacked on the end. They're an indie-rock group that makes songs you can't help but dance to with trumpet and saxophone instrumentals that shine through.
What is a favorite song you have on the playlist?
PT: My favorite song on my playlist is probably "Light My Fire" by The Doors. I feel like it's great walking music, which, going into the semester, I have to do a lot of to get to classes from Lower Campus. There is a long, four-minute instrumental in between Jim Morrison's singing, where the keyboardist Ray Manzarek and the guitarist Robby Krieger riff and do a lot of improv. The tempo is very walking-esque.
JM: I absolutely love "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure. It's one of my favorite songs of all time. Listening to it always puts me in a good mood. Robert Smith also always has cool eyeliner, which is something I aspire to have.
KC: Speaking of artists whose style I'm loving and aspire to right now: Japanese Breakfast. Frontwoman Michelle Zauner is an absolute queen with a best-selling book, a world tour, and her amazing punk style. "Be Sweet" by the band was one of my favorites for the summer, but I went for an older track, "Road Head," to close out this playlist, looking for a softer sound that's perfect as background tunes while doing work.
What is a new song you've discovered?
PT: A new song I discovered was "You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us in Prison" by My Chemical Romance (MCR). I had never listened to an MCR song before this month, but that changed in preparation for its Boston show that I got tickets to. Turns out, I really love MCR. I am past my angsty teenage phase, when most people get into MCR, but it is never too late to explore more emo genres. I like how catchy the lyrics are.
JM: I never left my emo phase. MCR will always be one of my favorite bands. But a new song I discovered was "Control" by Mannequin Pussy. I'm always looking for new female-fronted punk bands to listen to, and I think Mannequin Pussy's sound is really cool. The band mixes indie rock and punk in a way I have not really heard before.
KC: I also never left my emo phase. A little bit of emo never hurt anyone. I've had the magical experience of rediscovering old favorites that sound new again after not listening to them for a while. I've returned to Fiona Apple's "Under The Table" to absorb her cool and I-don't-care-what-anyone-else-thinks vibes. "Sweet Jane" by The Velvet Underground is another returning classic, and I've revived my obsession with "Still Feeling You" by Couch after I saw it in concert.
How does your music differ from last fall and over the years?
JM: I was really into the "Sad Girl Autumn" trope last year, but this fall I am trying to listen to more upbeat music
PT: "Sad Girl Autumn" is an interesting genre because it's really carved out its own niche in alternative pop music but is also really mainstream at the same time.
JM: My version of Sad Girl Autumn is Nirvana and Mazzy Star with the occasional Taylor Swift song.
PT: That's really interesting because Nirvana is the opposite of what people usually think Sad Girl Autumn music is. Personally, I have a very consistent music taste I feel like, which mostly includes weird British rock from the '80s and '90s like The Smiths, David Bowie, Blur, and Joy Division. But I'd say I'm definitely exploring new genres, including becoming a big fan of Metallica over the past couple years.

Athens Georgia Gay Guide - Spending the Weekend in Athens, GA
United States Georgia
All Georgia
Andrew is an experienced writer and editor of guidebooks and articles on LGBT travel including "Fodor's Gay Guide to the USA."
Tripsavvy / Andrew Collins
Of the 25 U.S. metro areas with the highest percentage of gay and lesbian households, two are in Georgia. You might guess that Atlanta is one of these - Athens is the other.
There are several reasons so many gays and lesbians choose to live in this city of 120,000, which makes for a very enjoyable weekend trip from Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, and other key cities in the Southeast. The University of Georgia (UGA) fosters an open-minded, tolerant population, as does the edgy arts, theater, and live-music scene, which has cultivated such queer-relevant music acts as the B-52s, the Indigo Girls, and R.E.M. (out rocker Michael Stipe resides here). Vegetarian Times has called Athens one of the country's best cities for noncarnivores.
Like other big collegiate communities in the Southeast, such as Chapel Hill, North Carolina and Charlottesville, Virginia, Athens provides a big mix of arts, culture, lively nightlife, first-rate restaurants, and gay-friendliness into a relatively small, affordable, and accessible package.
Every April (next year's date is expected to be April 22, 2017), Athens hosts the Boybutante Ball, an AIDS benefit with drag fetes, concerts, a women's dance, and a campy gala ball held at the famed 40 Watt Club. This is the gayest event in a city that hosts countless fun gatherings, from AthFest Music and Arts Festival in June to the Taste of Athens food celebration in February.
Major Athens Events in 2016-2017:
Late Apr.: Athens Human Rights Festival.
Late Apr.: Boybutante Ball.
Late Apr.–early May: Athens Twilight Criterium (nighttime cycling race and festival).
Late June: AthFest Music Festival.
Early to mid-Sept.: Athens Gay Pride Festival (note that nearby Atlanta Gay Pride is held in October).
Athens Exploring - Athens Museums - University of Georgia Campus
photo by Andrew Collins
Athens - one of the few Georgia communities spared by Gen. William T. Sherman during his infamous Civil War "March to the Sea" - contains numerous antebellum homes, most of them within 13 national historic districts.
America's first state-chartered university, The University of Georgia (information on guided and self-guided campus tours) abuts the dapper and walkable downtown; the historic North Campus (at S. Jackson and E. Broad Sts.) is ideal for a leisurely stroll. Stop by two-and-a-half-acre Founders Memorial Garden, a tribute to the 12 women who established the Ladies Garden Club of Athens in 1861 (the first of its kind in America). This is just a preview, however, of what you'll see at the 313-acre State Botanical Gardens of Georgia (706-542-6159, 2450 S. Milledge Ave.), where a glass conservatory with tropical plants complements thousands of colorful outdoor plantings. The gardens are about 5 miles south of downtown.
The exceptional Georgia Museum of Art (90 Carlton St., 706-542-4662) is on the University of Georgia's East Campus, in a dramatic contemporary building that completed a major expansion in 2011. The superb collection contains more than 8,000 permanent works and is notable for its American (including Southern folk), with works by several GBLT notables, including Paul Cadmus, Georgia O'Keeffe, Marsden Hartley, Thomas Eakins, and Andy Warhol. There are excellent rotating shows throughout the year.
In downtown Athens, art collectors should explore downtown's Clayton Street, a strip of reputable galleries showing important, often provocative, works. Several fun boutiques and shops are along Clayton and the intersecting blocks as well. Culture vultures appreciate the many top-notch performance venues in town, from cozy historic theaters to the esteemed University of Georgia Performing Arts Center.
Athens Restaurant Guide
Athens has no shortage of memorable dining options, many of them serving sophisticated fare priced for budget-minded students and artists. The city has become a bastion of farm-to-table, regional dining.
One of the first restaurants to put the city on the national dining map was Five & Ten (1073 S. Milledge Ave., 706-546-7300), which remains a stalwart for its stellar contemporary cuisine and first-rate wine list - consider the modern take on classic Lowcountry Frogmore stew (with Georgia shrimp, fingerling potatoes, leek, corn, spicy andouille sausage, and leek-tomato broth), as well as velvety corn soup with poached shrimp, vanilla, and tarragon. Chef Hugh Acheson is also behind downtown Athens's wonderful Mediterranean-inspired eatery, The National (232 W. Hancock Ave., 706-549-3450) as well as Atlanta's vaunted Empire State South and Savannah's fine eatery, The Florence.
You'll find a strip of hot dining spots downtown along West Washington, including the Trappeze Pub (269 N. Hull St. at W. Washington St., 706-543-8997), a nice choice for any meal. This rambling gastropub specialize in local and international craft beers (try the 90 Shilling, produced locally at Athens' Terrapin Beer Co., at which tours and tastings are available. The lively Trappeze is justly famous for its version of a regional classic snack: boiled "p-nuts". Also consider beer-and-cheddar soup (again made Terrapin Golden) with spiced bacon, and the "double pig" sandwich (braised pork and bacon) with house-made pickled green beans.
Some tables at the beloved Last Resort Grill (174-184 W. Clayton St., 706-549-0810) overlook an exhibition kitchen where talented chefs juggle pots and pans sizzling with Carolina crab cakes or house-braised pork belly roasted with an ancho glaze. In a building part-owned by Michael Stipe, The Grit (199 Prince Ave., 706-543-6592) serves up delicious vegetarian faves, such as tabouli salad and black-bean chili. Relax with Athens' intelligentsia at Jittery Joe's Coffee (297 E. Broad St., 706-613-7449), a sunny coffeehouse facing North Campus (there are a few other Jittery Joe's locations around town, too).
You could spend a week in this town without making your way through all the celebrated eateries - no-frills Taqueria Sr Sol (175 Tallassee Rd., 706-546-1570) for flavorful Mexican fare; Weaver D's (1016 E. Broad St., 706-353-7797) for sublimely delicious soul food; and cheerful Mama's Boy (197 Oak St., 706-548-6249) down-home brunches and lunches are also worth seeking out.
Athens Hotel Guide - Gay-Friendly Athens Hotels
The city has plenty of chain options, in all price ranges, many on the outskirts of town. To truly soak up the city's vibrant personality, consider staying at one of the handful of very nice hotels in the pedestrian-friendly downtown. One of the newest and most striking of these is the hip Hotel Indigo-Athens (500 College Ave., 706-546-0430), a handsome, LEED-certified mid-rise with smartly designed rooms and a fun vibe - there's a nice little gym on-site, a fun bar and restaurant (Madison Bar & Bistro), and a cool live-music venue called the Rialto Room. It's part of the gay-friendly Indigo boutique hotel brand.
Formerly known as the Foundry Park Inn & Spa, the gloriously hip and smartly designed Graduate Athens (295 E. Dougherty St., 706-549-7020) offers among the coolest and most interesting downtown accommodations - this former motor lodge has been converted into a stylish boutique hotel with a full-service spa and an exceptional bar and restaurant (The Foundry) serving modern takes on regional American fare and featuring some great live bands in the bar, and a first-rate coffee lounge, Iron Works Coffee. You'll also find a few other reliable chain hotels downtown - good bets include centrally located Hilton Garden Inn - Athens Downtown (390 E. Washington St., 706-353-6800), and the campus-adjacent Holiday Inn Athens (197 E. Broad St., 706-549-4433).
Fans of B&Bs should check out the gay-welcoming inn The Colonels (3890 Barnett Shoals Rd., 706-559-9595), a stately, white-columned, 1860s plantation house that contains seven handsomely furnished rooms (some of them can be joined together as suites). The inn is a 15-minute drive southeast of downtown and UGA campus.
Athens Gay Nightlife Guide - Gay-Friendly Bars in Athens
Music fans from all around head to Athens to catch alternative-rock acts at downtown's seminal 40 Watt Club (285 W. Washington St., 706-549-7871), which is always hosting talented bands on the cusp of fame. Notable acts who built their following at 40 Watt include R.E.M., the B-52s, the Indigo Girls, Widespread Panic, and Pylon, but over the years patrons have caught countless other notables - 10,000 Maniacs, Bob Mould, and so on. The club also hosts the annual Boybutante Ball, one of the South's top GLBT fundraising events.
Athens hasn't had an official gay bar since long-running Boneshaker's closed in 2005. But the many bars and music clubs downtown and virtually all gay-friendly, this being a city with sizable GLBT population, and you're only an a little more than an hour from the lively gay bar scene in Atlanta. Note also that Atlanta's wonderfully offbeat homage to pop art, kitsch, and dive-bar drinking, Sister Louisa's Church (254 W. Clayton St., 706-850-3668) has an inviting outpost here in Athens.
Some of the restaurants covered in the Restaurant Guide, including Last Resort Grill, The National, and Trappeze Pub, also cultivate lively bar scenes. If you can't decide between coffee or a cocktail, check out atmospheric Walker's Coffee & Pub (128 College Ave., 706-543-1433), which is steps from UGA campus. Another favorite around town for hobnobbing and hoisting a mug is the lovably dive-y Manhattan Bar (337 N. Hull St., 706-369-9767).
Following a devastating fire, the legendary and historic Georgia Theatre (215 N. Lumpkin St., 706-850-7670) reopened following a beautiful rebuild. The rooftop bar and restaurant is an enjoyable spot for a drink or a snack. The theater books plenty of prominent bands and cool concerts.

Digital Apollo: Human and Machine in Spaceflight
4.25 12 5 Forfatter: David A. Mindell Oplæser: Kyle Tait
As Apollo 11's Lunar Module descended toward the moon under automatic control, a program alarm in the guidance computer's software nearly caused a mission abort. Neil Armstrong responded by switching off the automatic mode and taking direct control. He stopped monitoring the computer and began flying the spacecraft, relying on skill to land it and earning praise for a triumph of human over machine. In Digital Apollo, engineer-historian David Mindell takes this famous moment as a starting point for an exploration of the relationship between humans and computers in the Apollo program.
Digital Apollo examines the design and execution of each of the six Apollo moon landings, drawing on transcripts and data telemetry from the flights, astronaut interviews, and NASA's extensive archives. Mindell's exploration of how human pilots and automated systems worked together to achieve the ultimate in flight-a lunar landing-traces and reframes the debate over the future of humans and automation in space. The results have implications for any venture in which human roles seem threatened by automated systems, whether it is the work at our desktops or the future of exploration.

If you're the type of person who enjoys taking off on holidays at a whim, then a caravan is the ideal long-term investment.
The opportunity to go wherever whenever you want is too good to keep to yourself, so why not share the privilege with other like-minded caravan enthusiasts? Not only can you make some extra pennies for yourself, any left aside can go towards the cost of the caravan's upkeep over the winter period.
You've had some great holidays with your family this year, but it's time to shut the doors on your caravan one last time…or is it? Just because you can no longer use it, there's no reason it can't be used as a holiday home by others – and you'll be rewarded handsomely thanks to the additional income!
A good first impression should create an impressive lasting impression – so make sure you give your caravan a good scrub!
As each visitor will have their own set of needs, consider what you might need to provide for them as well as inform them about any additional items they might want to take into the caravan. Some guests may prefer bringing their own bedding, so if it means you only need to provide pillows and cushions, you're instantly saving yourself plenty of time and money.
But don't forget, it's the little touches that really makes guests feel truly welcome. From leaving them essential bathroom items or placing a box of chocolates in the caravan, you're guaranteed to win them over – making them feel at home as soon as they step foot into your (their) holiday home.
Here at UK Holiday Home Sales, we treat every holiday home as our own – maintaining them to the highest of standards to make sure that well, every guest feels at home. So if you need someone – and somewhere – to let out your caravan, get in touch with us today.

SCWQPs include management practices such as crop rotations and structural practices such as sediment basins and grade stabilization structures. Also, included in a SCWQP are recommendations concerning forestry management, wildlife habitat and plantings, pond construction and management, and other natural resource management recommendations. The practices are designed to control erosion within acceptable levels and to be compatible with management and cropping systems.

Notes from the Carlsbad Highlands
I found myself with an hour of leisure time between the moment I dropped my kid off at daycare and the moment I had to be at the office. So, as has become a custom on Tuesdays, I stopped at the Calavera Hills trail network for a quick hike. Normally, I stick to the lake, but given the recent controversy at Carlsbad Highlands Ecological Reserve, wherein the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) stated their intention to fine people for illegal use (mountain biking, drones, equestrians), I decided to explore that area a little better.
First, I saw a concrete barrier essentially lining the reserve where it abuts the City of Carlsbad property surrounding the lake. The signage is omnipresent, and it's abundantly clear that CDFW forbids everything but foot traffic on the reserve. It is literally impossible to draw any other conclusion unless you are willfully ignoring any sign you encounter.
CDFW's strategy to get people to stop chopping down the signs
Additionally, I saw evidence of the CDFW's attempts to make it harder to cut down wooden signs by embedding nails in the wood in order to break saw blades. At least from the perspective of signage, CDFW doesn't appear to be fooling around.
A typical sight: Riders cut a new parallel trail so that they can go up and over a bump.
So, after taking the Solar Trail from Cannon, I cut east on what appears to be one of the few formally established trails (actually an old road bed) in the reserve. As I hiked east, I noticed at least a dozen different trails, all informal single-track, joining the main trail to access the city property or to lead deeper into the reserve. Most of these trails showed evidence of recent mountain bike traffic (I actually saw three mountain bikers on the reserve today), indicating that the local mountain biking community is equally serious about continuing to ride the trails.
Four separate trails diverge, only to rejoin at several points later on.
Given the abundance of informal trails, it becomes challenging to determine what's a legal trail and what isn't. Some of this is on CDFW, as they never formalized a trail plan that would clarify which paths are formal, but a huge amount of that responsibility belongs to mountain bikers who clearly create and maintain these trails. I made it about 1.5 miles into the hike on what I was fairly certain were the proper trails until I attempted to cut back west to Cannon via the water tower. I quickly left the certainty of more established trail and began following a spiders web of single-track trails that clearly receive regular maintenance.
It quickly became impossible to determine what trail I was following. I used Gaia to cross-reference my position against the trails, and I quickly found myself on a trail that does not show up on Gaia (There are at least twice as many trails on the ground compared to what Gaia depicts). That trail soon split into four separate paths, all of which appeared to parallel each other and reconnect via perpendicular connecting trails. Mountain biking tracks were omnipresent, and there were numerous spots where the riders had constructed jumps and other trail features designed to make their ride more exciting.
Take a look at the satellite picture above combined with the Gaia screenshot from the previous paragraph. That ought to give you an idea of just how badly the riding community has carved up an ecological reserve protecting endangered species. Nearly all of the trails I encountered also showed clear signs of recent maintenance. We had an extremely wet winter, and that usually leads to rapid vegetation overgrowth. I saw few signs of overgrowth here.
It's pretty clear from walking a small portion of the webbing of trails that the mountain biking community has established this as a sort of playground where trail features trump habitat. I get that the mountain biking community feels a sense of ownership since many people were riding these trails prior to 2000 when the CDFW purchased the property. And I get that the theme in North County especially, but also nation wide, is that mountain bikers frequently lose access to properties that they've loved.
However, it's also pretty clear that the reserve's habitat has been carved up like a Thanksgiving turkey. It's not hard to see why CDFW has had enough and is attempting to crack down. There's a prodigious amount of habitat destruction coupled with destruction toward the signage. Mountain bikers like to play the "good stewards" card, but it's hard to take that seriously when you see what it looks like when they fully take ownership of a trail network.
One of nearly a dozen informal paths splitting from a primary path in a span of half a mile.
I really wanted to feel sympathy and support for the riders who are faced with losing access, and to some extent, I assumed this problem could be averted. However, the attitude housed by riders who were "here before CDFW" would still have made it extremely difficult to maintain a more modest trail network that respected the needs of the resident wildlife.
It's hard to imagine that the land parcel would be in better condition if there was some kind of formal trail plan that includes mountain bikers. Too many of them would likely feel frustrated at losing the existing trails that they've obviously created, and given the way some of them have reacted (continuing to ride, chopping down signs, claiming that they won't respect the closure), it's reasonable to suspect that, even with a formal trail plan, some riders would go on making illegal trails.
To be fair, I also saw one hiker walking his dog off leash, several piles of horse poop (riding is prohibited), and four plastic bags full of dog crap. It's not just the bikers, but it's pretty safe to say that leashless dog walkers aren't chopping down signs.
