Trail maintenance this Saturday. Come out to lend a hand.

- MEETING AT GILBRIDE ROAD. The small lot next to the bridge on Gilbride Road at 9:00am. Parking is limited there. Some will need to park up the road at the utility area, west of the bridge.
- We will walk to the work site (very short walk).
- Tools will be supplied but bring a pick axe, mattock or similar if you have 1.
- Bring work gloves, sturdy boots & something to drink.

Hope you can make it.

That's just about as helpful as if you weren't.

No idea. Last I talked to the rangers, they didn't either. It's a county project, not park commission, so they are not in the know. All I'm hoping for is they show with some kind of prefab bridge & it gets done quickly and this year.

I was out with Ranger Dave flagging the addition today, I'm actually excited about this one. Not to late to change your plans and come lend a hand.

Hope I've got enough tools.

Great session today. Really happy with how this project started & we accomplished way more than I thought we would. Possible we get a loop completed at the next session in 2 weeks.

Thanks to:

A group of Eagle Scouts & a few Dads joined as well & worked their tails off.

Rangers Dave & Nick for seeing the big picture & supporting all these improvements.

And of course, Paul @ High Tech Landscaping for sending a nice size group to help as well. These guys have been helping for a few years now & pretty much know exactly what has to be done and we couldn't do this w/o them.

@BrianGT3 has some pics to post.

Next & final date of the season is Sat Dec 2nd. Hopefully the weather will play nice. Please come out if you can.
