    Default Illiniwek: Trail Work Sunday 5/19 @ 8AM

    We will be working at Illiniwek Sunday morning starting at 8:00AM. The plan is to rehab a few areas of old trail on the North Loop. The primary work area is near the large retaining wall/switchback corner we built last fall. If we finish there we will head to the other area on the map below.

    I will be bringing some shovels, rogue hoes, and a wheelbarrow/buckets to haul dirt and materials. Bring your own tools if you have them, if you don't we should have enough to cover you.

    Sturdy shoes/boots, gloves, pants & long sleeves, and eye protection are recommended. Bring BUG REPELLENT (the strong stuff) because the mosquito are thick right now.

    See you there!

    I may have to grow old, but I'll never have to grow up.

    No problem Russ. We are getting limited on free weekends so I had to pull the trigger.

    If anyone has another wheelbarrow they can bring that would be gravy. We have quite a bit of dirt to move.

    It looks like there are going to be some storms rolling through around 8-9 AM. I'm going to postpone the work day until 10:00 to let them pass and if we don't get too much rain we will continue as planned.

    Sorry about that. I didn't realize it was going to storm until I saw dark clouds on the horizon about 5 minutes before I posted the delay.

    Luckily it looks like we are going to dodge the worst of the rain.
