    Default IFP Trailwork: Wed. 6/18 & Fri.6/20 @ 4:30 pm

    We will be out working on the big log ride again this week Wednesday and Friday. Meet in the upper south loop parking lot (by the salt dome) at 4:30 or if you can't make it that early refer to this map for where we will be working.

    We still need to move a few more large logs into position and cut them to fit together.

    If you have equipment that would be helpful for moving large logs (18" dia. x 8' long) bring it out. A portable electric winch and/or some snatch blocks and about 100' of strong rope would be very helpful.

    Don't forget to dress to combat the bugs (ideally no exposed skin).

    Going to start a little later Friday. New time is 6:00. Hopefully it will have cooled off some by then.

    This log ride is going to be +45' long when completed and uses +18" diam. oak logs. Still need a few more days to put the finishing touches on it. If you are interested in helping, pay attention for trail work announcements here in the Illiniwek forum or subscribe to the IFP trailwork mailing list by sending me your name and email via PM.
