Good Evening Fellow NCTr's:
This morning's plan was to get out to the section of NCT below the haunted house at Cemex to look at rerouting off of some of the waterlogged sections of trail through there. However, Lee and Doug, both armed with loppers, went into attack mode as soon as we headed up the trail, and the multifloral rose along the trail never stood a chance. I swear those guys lopped and pruned for two hours straight - no mercy in those guys. A good head start for the maintenance season!
We met up with Richard Lutz at the haunted house and the four of us were able to come up with a couple of good solutions for getting the treadway out of the muddiest spots. I have a very general map of what we're planning to do here. It looks like in order to do this we'll need to put in one simple, ten-foot bridge to be able to get the DR mower through the area. And, having originally considered building a stretch of turnpike, it turned out that it isn't going to be necessary as we can easily reroute to get above the source of our water problem. Piece of cake - can't wait to get started.
A few pics from today start here.
My thanks to Lee, Richard, and Doug for making the trip out with me this morning and for their insight on how to best work this project.
Next on the agenda is to get the new trail route at the Kirkwood farm flagged. We'll plan on hitting that next week sometime, depending on the weather.
Thanks for all you do for the trail!
