The weather forecast is looking good for Saturday’s trail work (10/1/11). We’ll be working to firm up some of the sandy areas in the front section near the fire tower. (Firstly… the hairpins turn in the middle of the pine saplings.) Part of the plan includes carting some gravel back to the problem spots, so we could use your help.

We’ll be meeting near the trail head in the Batsto Visitor Center parking lot at 9:00, then walking and/or riding the short distance over to the section. Quitting time is before 12:30 and we’ll be taking a beginner paced ride around the Patriots Loop (red, white & blue trails) afterwards.

RSVP if you can make it. (So we’ll have the proper amount of tools and donuts on hand.) Bring work boots (or comfy shoes), bike, water and a fair amount of humor.

If you are driving in from the Hammonton, Nesco, Sweetwater areas, the CR542 bridge is still closed (and rumored not to be repaired for several months) so you will still be detoured over to CR563.

The first JORBA WSF night ride of the season is Friday, October 7. Open to trail volunteers and JORBA members. Its always a good time. 😀

I will be there at least for the TM and will attempt to keep the humor to a fair amount so as not to disrupt anyone working!!!
 
I'm in for saturday, and have at least on friend that confirmed she'll be there. Mentioned it to another, but waiting on a reply.

Kurt, Just wanted to give you guys a heads up that Bow Season starts Saturday(10/01/11)....Mite want to wear some bright colored clothing just to be safe. Thanks Again for all you guys do!!! I'll be shooting another donation to Jorba before the holidays, and will direct them to put it towards the Wharton Trails. Dave
 
Thanks!
We hear you 'bout bow season. To avoid conflicts, we're working near the parking lot in the morning. Then riding at mid- day.
 
Threatening skies and a confusing detour kept the crew small, but we were still able to fix that problem turn with a wider radius and good sized nick, plus carve a few more nicks in that short section to keep the soil in place.
Much thanks to Moray42 for the help!

The first WSF night ride of the season is this Friday, 10/7/11. Current forecast looks good. Details/updates at wharton.jorba.org. wooopwooop.
