    Default Trail Day (25 June)

    We are having a trail day this Thursday 25 June at Illiniwek Park (weather permitting). Post up if you can make it.

    Objectives (As time allows):
    Clearing a few downed trees from the trails
    Cutting weeds and removing debris from the trail tread
    Fixing some short sections of trail that are prone to holding water or eroding
    Start cutting in an up/down trail for the South Loop.

    Tools needed:
    Chainsaw
    Weedeaters
    Rakes
    Shovels

    Location (View Map):
    lliniwek park at the north end of the parking lot on the East side of I-84 at 6:00 PM. In case someone has been living under a rock for the last few months, the Interstate 80 bridge westbound lane is closed.

    Notes:
    Quite a few of the trails we will be working are flanked by stinging nettles so wearing long pants is advised. Also, bring bug spray because the Mosquitoes are thick right now.

    I will post more details if anything changes.

    I was planning on helping out today (Thursday the 9th) at Illiniwek... just wondering if trail day is still on due to all the rain on Wednesday? Thanks!

    As of now We still plan on doing trail work, if we get any more rain today I'm not so sure. My plan is to check the trails around 2:00pm and let everyone know around 3 or 4 if it's a go or not.
