not for sure, but...sounds like
water crossing towards canal, the first bridge you come too, the one that was all twisted in the winter.

wasn't around in the winter, but that's the first bridge that I can think of coming off of south middlebush.
if you're coming the other way, which we did today, here is probably the best way to describe it.

I'm in until noon-ish
jdog, I and at least another buddy of mine are excited to join since this is our first TM day that we can attend, though I can only stay until just before noon to catch a church service at 12:30... Unfortunately, I don't think my yard tools would be up to the task, them being old and "cheapo"
But please let us know what else is needed and we'll see what we can bring...

Long time lurker, first time poster. I'll be there as well to help until noon or so.
I have the following tools:
- shovel
- scraper edger shank
- hedge shears
Quick question, should we bring our bikes?

Just to clarify..
We won't really need bikes. We might want some one to test ride some sections but someone always shows up by bike.
We are going to be cutting through a wooded section and possibly through a young cedar section (like the one to the east of S middlebush).
We will have a chain saw crew at the front that will take out the low lying branches. Behind that will be a few guys taking out the remaning branches and dragging them off the trail.
Behind that we will rake or bench cut the trail tread such that it is really obvious. In some sections we will need to do some earth moving for sure.
A heavy garden rake is useful. In a few sections will will be cutting through some tall grass and maybe some prickers.
A few guys with good weedwackers might be nice? PM me if you have one.
I hope to have a good handful of trail tools but if you bring a few tools and they never leave your car that is fine.

There are a few other useful clip on You tube as well.
My offer still stands, Pulaskis, Mc Clouds, tamper, clippers, loppers, etc.
