    Default Armouring Some Wet Spots

    There has been talk about trying to fix some of the wet spots on the trails near the Arsenal dam, which are almost underwater now. My idea is to harden and elevate the tread with gravel for the minor spots and flagstone pave the spots that never seem to dry to prevent rutting and trail widening. There is a large supply of material close (~200') to the trails in question. If you can, bring a wheelbarrow, 5 gallon buckets, and a shovel. I plan on starting around 4:00-4:30 PM and riding afterwards as conditions permit and if I can fit both the wheelbarrow and the bike in my car.
