Trail Work Schedule for Feb - April

Tommy and I looked through our schedules and found several good dates for trail building. We don't have much time before the weeds start sprouting and growing super fast - i.e. trail maintenance season! So mark your calendars and come out to cut some brush. These are basically every two weeks. We'll meet around 8:30 and break for lunch around 12:30 to 1 pm. We'll do pizza like last time. When the weather improves, we'll grill some burgers. For the vegetarians, we'll cook them some hot dogs ;)

Feb 13 (this Sat) - it will be chilly - dress in layers - and have some extra gloves in case your hands get wet.

Feb 23 (YES - a Tuesday work day - Led by Eric Fisher)

March 27

April 10

That will give us 6 days, plus we can add a Sunday afternoon or 2 extra. With our past trail days, we usually got 500 to 1000 ft max. So, 5 good days will give us 1 mile (if we get good turnouts).

These work days will get us to the top of the hill and get us started heading back down the hill! The next section is more open due to larger trees. So we have a little less to remove.

More good stuff to come - This is a potential Eagle Scout Project site.
