    Default Dorrance - Tues. 12/19 @ 3pm

    The weather is giving us another chance to work this week. Only 100 yds of easy clearing, benching, and shovel work to go to get the last section of Loam Ranger open; totally possible with 1-2 more workdays. If you're available this early in the day, come on over. The gates blocking access to the main parking lot are up for the season. They will be closed but unlocked if you arrive later. Please close them behind you!

    Details
    • Continuing work on the final segment of blue loop (Loam Ranger). After the last workday we're at 90% completion.
    • Clearing and light bench work planned.
    • Dirt working tools (shovels & hoes) required. I'll have extras to loan out.
    • Meeting along the gravel road next to the kiosk (directions here) at 3:00 pm and we'll work until 5ish. Bring a headlight.
    • The main gates will be closed but unlocked if you arrive late. Please close it behind you!
    • RSVP if you can make it.


    Date/time:
    • Tuesday 12/19 @ 3pm

    No experience necessary to help! If you can dig a hole, we can show you how to build trail. Plenty of experienced builders will be around to show you the ropes and answer questions. If you haven't volunteered for a trail day before, check out this article to know how to prepare: Things to Know Before Volunteering for a Trail Work Day

    Update:
    Sunday we knocked out 70 yds of trail and built 6 medium sized rollers. Only 100 yds to go to get the section open.

    Should be able to get it done tonight given those who have rsvp'd! We'll be starting at the work area on the east side of the park. All the way up the gravel road, through the grassy clearing, up the dirt road, and to the left at the existing blue trail entrance.
