2024 Wildcat Ridge WMA Trail TuneUps

[JimN]

There might have been too many brownies, but there were no complaints. The two pieces of yellow by the hawk watch parking area that are always first to be overgrown are totally clear, as is the first bit of orange. We'll probably be out again Tuesday or Thursday next week, whichever day has worse weather.

Thanks @Wrong Way Dan, @Meatball Mia, @UtahJoe, and @Stef!

Same place, what time? Tuesday or Thursday this week?? Plan on some trimming and start some rock armoring.

Tuesday or Thursday this week??

I can do either but Thursday is probably better.

5pm at the start of red by solar pond. Planning to rock armor the spot at the bottom of white that is always wet.

I'll probably be there around 4:30pm and will trim my way down to the work site from the hawk watch and meet you's whenever I get there.

Tonight we trimmed Four Birds from the Hawk Watch down to the bridge and did some rock armoring at the spot before the rock garden that is always wet. Thanks @Wrong Way Dan, @UtahJoe, @Stef, @Meatball Mia, and even @trailhead who showed up even though he is recovering from a broken arm. He was mostly moral support, but I also saw him carrying a rock or two with his good arm at one point 💪.

We'll be back at it again next week on Tuesday or Thursday. Probably another day rock armoring this section and some more trimming in the area.

Looks pro.

Jorba Norm is an excellent foreman. I hope Dan was taking notes.

We'll continue rock armoring that wet section at the bottom of Four Birds. I'll probably be there around 4:30pm and will trim red and white on my way down to the work site. Hit me up if anyone wants to join me and let me know if you need a trimming tool. Don't wait until 4:23pm on Thursday though @UtahJoe.
