Oct 17, 2019 New #206 Group, We will be meeting as usual at the marina on Saturday October19th @ 9am We are hoping for a good turnout as the thorns have gotten the upper hand lately Hopefully someone able to handle the brush hog as a few of the regulars are busy and the rest of us are wounded...

Next will be the tree down between the boathouse and conover hopefully next week sometime

Tom and I took care of this tree this morning and cleared some small stuff down near the lake going left after the double bridges Tom took some photos I am sure he will post later today

It was a nice day to be out walking the trail There are many many trees that have the potential to come down on the trail Tom and I will be out making a list for next months first trail day of the year This part of the blue trail looked pretty good

Tom and I cut the dead tree near the power lines and twin lakes on upper blue We were headed to get the other one with the loose log over when the rain really started to come down We intend on leaving the log over and making a cut for hikers & bikers to go around if they like With me working...

I saw a yearling Bald Eagle on the Blue trail earlier this summer I was walking our dog and a guy walking his dog in the other direction pointed it out He told me they don't get the white head for a couple of years This bird was up in a big oak tree and was huge. My wife rows on the lake in...

Bump for Jorba Jungle Jam

Mike Thanks for setting this up...Done

Mercer had a huge turnout considering…Road Closures, Triathlon's, July Vacation's and Oh ya it's 90+ degrees out. They were able do do quite a bit of thorn removal from the east picnic area to the rowing center on the north side of the lake. My thanks to: Alistair MacLennan, Chuck Prettyman...

What a fine job you guys did with this Mike who said you were unteachable???

We never seem to get before photos?? It would have been nice to get before during and after photos for this stretch of trail we hid a lot of stone work with those wood chips

April Trail Day @ Mercer Thanks to a great crew at Mercer this morning We repaired a vandalized bridge and did some repair / re-routing on the blue trail along the farm field off of South Post road Thanks to! Mike Sullivan, Steve Lacie, Chuck Prettyman, Jim Wenning, George Nickels, Tom...

Upper Blue Muddy, The lane off of south post had chips dumped and spread a week or so ago I asked for another load so we can use wherever needed The bridge was reported to the park and i am hoping for a sign The ahole took every one of the 6" lags out of the deck We should have...

That's why they make bikes with suspensions :D We would have to ask for permission to do re-routes Or we could use the killer tiller to recover the trail tread

Upper Blue can use some work ??? Muddy, Can you be a little more detailed? Use the Smart map with quadrants http://www2.jorba.org/images/b/bf/2010_SMART_trail_map.jpg

Group, We had a great turnout 50 hours in the Pay Dirt book already! We were able to break up into two groups and work on both the red and the blue trails today! We took care of several areas where trees had been weakened by Sandy and became hazards after recent wind storms We had a light...

The parks commission made that map It shows a lot of the facilities but hides large portions of the trail system Not only did they block a lot of the eastern trail system (Blue Trail) they removed the quadrants so if there is a problem with something on the trail that map is useless Use the one...

The Mercer crews have put in (238.5 I missed one of the guys today) 243 volunteer hours (sawing, dissecting and dragging tree parts) this month. No doubt a record for Mercer!

Not anymore With all of the building north of Conover and some help from the beavers what was once a seasonally wet area is now a small pond year round Smart had a grant to put a boardwalk in that area but by the time the money was awarded it was no longer legal to get a permit The wetland area...
