    Default Dorrance - Sat. 11/24 @ 9am

    A few more loose ends to tie up and U.R. Phase II will be ready to open. Just basic trail building at this point; tech features will be added over winter and spring 2019.

    Planning another build day Saturday 11/24 @ 9:00 am. We're past the crazy benching work and back into moderate slopes. This might be the last dirt moving/working day of the season due to incoming freeze.

    Meeting in the inner parking lot (directions here) by the Playground. Gates are locked for the season but will be unlocked & closed while we're working if you need to get in/out (keep them closed). See map below for work area if you arrive late and need to find us. We'll be working for ~3 hrs.

    Work Plan:
    - Bench <70yds of trail
    - Scrape/rake in <70 yds of trail
    - Shape/compact a couple dozen rollers/berms along length of Phase II
    - Rock armor a stream crossing
    - Pickup flagging materials

    Tools Needed: (Extra tools will be available)
    - Rogue Hoes
    - Flat Shovels
    - A couple wheelbarrows
    - Vibrating Plate Compactor and/or Hand Tampers

    Still planning on digging today. Will be a little muddy so bring an extra pair of shoes/pants. Going to start on the West side and work east along the newly built trail.
