    Default DFP - Thurs 7/14 @ 5:30 & Sat. 7/16 @ 9:00am

    This weeks Dorrance trailwork plan:

    Thursday 7/14 @ 5:30pm - Clearing & Digging Trail
    Saturday 7/16 @ 9:00am - Clearing & Digging Trail


    Rogue hoes and flat shovels are needed. As always, I'll have extra tools available.

    Meeting near the bathrooms in the inner parking lot at the times listed above and working for a couple of hours. Get directions to the park here. See the map below for how to get to the work area if you can't make it that early.

    If you plan on giving us a hand Sat. morning I'd highly recommend bringing a bug head net ($3 at Walmart & in the camping section) and wearing long sleeves. We're working next to a low lying area with standing water and the mosquitoes were fierce tonight. Even generous helpings of DEET couldn't keep them at bay.
