    (I think I'm 'getting' this sectional posting, apologies;)

     

     
    The work site is 1.25 miles from the trail head. We will be tackling many needed repairs and enhancements to the trail, including routine drainage maintenance, rehabilitation of the soon-to-be-decommissioned section, and upgrade of the lookout area. Tools with training and safety guidelines will be be provided. Wear long pants, sturdy boots, work gloves, bring appropriate weather/rain gear and pack food and water for being on the trail several hours.

    I think weekdays are bad for many here, but I hope it goes well for those that can help out!

    I'll be there!  I'm glad to work on a trail that introduces so many people to the gorge.

    Plus, I gotta make sure you folks don't cart off my letterbox Wink

    No worries Jamie, I know you will be wearing the boss's hat at the July 5th final work party for this project Smile  (more details soon). Weekdays are sometimes chosen for folks who work weekends, are retired, self-employed, etc. It should be a fantastic day!
