Almost Done Digging (This Section)


Good Evening Fellow NCTr's:

Lee Fairbanks and I headed out to Gamelands 285 today - it was a BEAUTIFUL, sunny morning to be out on the North Country Trail. Together we spent a couple of hours crafting another thirty-five yards of excellent sidehill trail, following the route that he and Eleanor had refined last Sunday evening. It looks like we have about another thirty-five yards of digging to do until we hit the flat ground that we already have mowed to get back to the Sterling Road trailhead. Almost done. A few pics from today start here: http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2452145780098879960hLEqsF

We also took the opportunity to walk up to the shale hillside where we had so much trouble with sliding back in August. My concern was what the past four days of rainfall had done to what we had built. No problem! The cribbing and reinforcing that we did out there a few Sundays ago took care of it. Nice job everyone.

Have a great weekend. We'll tentatively plan on heading out next Wednesday morning in Wampum and Friday morning at Gamelands 285. I'll send along the details later this weekend. Thanks for all you do for the trail.

Dave Brewer
