Vandals on the Run

Well at first it was a joke that the porcupines were out eating the signs and running off with them. Than they started in on the benches and have nibbled away at the corners of them.

But this time the vandals are real two legged folk. About a week ago I recieved reports of signs that seemed to be missing out on the South End. After last nights work night we where out in this direction, and found a metal map and all the signs on two other posts stripped bare!

Let me say that it is all local volunteers doing the trail work and we don't have much time to dedicate to folks taking signs. So if you see any suspicious activity
Obviously let us know

Groomers!



We've been tuning the north section to perfection!

The leaves are cleared, most of the cuts have been cleared, the cut slope is even turning to berms in sections!

This past weekend we only have five folks show for the workday, but where able to turn even the worst sections of Ridge and Berry Patch into great riding and looking groomers.



Here are some pics to give you an idea....also we finally put the cement in the holes for the benches at the vista! And who keeps backing into the posts in the parking lot, there has been three posts knocked down by drivers!

Trailbunnies?

Didn't know what else to call a day of trailwork on easter.... sorry.

Seeing how this whole maintenance thing has become a religion for a few of us, it was only fitting to wake up on Easter Sunday at 7am to get out to the trails for some trailer-pulling, log clearing fun.

None other than the holiest of trail saints Frank Maguire was out teaching the his young jedi the latest blowdown removal techniques.

All of the blowdowns should finally be off the trails. Dunk was able to finish up some of the leaf litter removal of Alli and Redlegs.

More work to follow!
