Why were these routes vandalized?

I rode El Prieto today. I don't get it. There was a bunch of trail debris scattered at various forks in the trail. Why were these routes vandalized? Who says they're "unauthorized"? The trail doesn't seem "restored" it's choked.
I'd love to re-live the good-ol days when riding a rigid bike down that trail was fun, but those days are long gone. Maximum suspension and easy access to this trail (espicially the "original route") give it today's ripped up, chatterbump feeling.
Simply throwing some branches around isn't restoring anything.
Why were these routes vandalized? That's not vandals thats trail maintenance. IMO this trail is really over burdened and anything that slows riders down or makes em' ride with care is a good thing. The old (original) route is what should be. Any cuts should be avoided, hikers respected and be cool to anyone you see. This our playground and I don't want to get thrown out. Respect the area and it will be there for all of us. Vandalized?... not at all.
