    Default Dorrance - Sat. 4/24 @ 9am - Maintenance & Improvements

    Haven't done one of these in a while... Working at Dorrance this coming Saturday 4/24 from 9am until 1ish. Meeting in the inner parking lot. Not sure where we'll start first so try to be on time so we can leave as a group.

    Work Scope:
    Green Loop
    - Armoring periodic steam crossing near Blue Loop entrance
    - Improve berm before log bridge

    Black Loop
    - Armoring steep section on 1st climb
    - Armoring in 2nd gravity cavity
    - Adding dirt berm on 3rd climb in ravine
    - Reinforcing rock drops
    - Other maintenance as needed

    Tools Needed:
    - Wheelbarrow (1 more and we're good)
    - Dirt working tools (shovels, rogue hoes, tampers)

    I'll have general dirt working loaner tools for around 6 people and 2 wheelbarrows.

    There were two trees down when I was out there Sunday.
    One right before the drop section and one in the middle of the downhill speed section.
