National Trail Day Weekend 6/6 & 6/7

[pixychick]

Ringwood - Meet at Lot C at 8:45 both Saturday or Sunday

Trail work will be a re-route on the Ringwood/Ramapo (red) Trail just south of Warm Puppy rock. It is an easy hike or bike from Lot C. There is a need for some rock work, bench cutting, tamping, raking and pruning.

Wear sturdy shoes, and work gloves and bring your own water. Tools will be provided. Heavy or steady rain cancels.

Thanks to our very eager crew of 11 volunteers, the re-route corridor has been cleared today and Tom's monster rock has been set into place.

What was once an eroded fall line trail ....

...too steep to be sustainable,

is being re-routed across the fall line.....

under some cliffs and across a rock field.

Volunteers built a rock tread-way, including Tom's monster rock that was positioned today.

Velocity Boy checking his work. More work to happen tomorrow!

Re-route is not complete yet. There is some more rock work on top and a small section to be bench cut down at the bottom.
