Good Afternoon Fellow NCTr's:
I was wondering if you could hear it the whole way to Wampum. You know, the boom from when the garbage truck exploded up on Tony Dytko Road near the trail crossing. No, not really but it looks like there has been a lot of trash dumping going on up there, so I thought we should spend a couple of hours this Thursday morning, the 7th, doing some spring cleaning there and on River Road between the trailhead and the boat launch.
We'll leave from Jata's in Wampum at 9:00 AM on Thursday. I'll bring the garbage bags - bring gloves if you have them (I do have some extras) and flourescent orange or yellow for working along River Road. Come earlier to Jata's for breakfast if you'd like.
Saturday morning, the 9th, the plan is to stretch out our "diggin muscles" by doing some sidehill repair in a couple of areas at Gamelands 285, near the state line trailhead. There are several areas that can be improved with two hours of digging and shaping. We'll also take a look at the bog bridge and see what needs to be done to extend it another twenty feet.
We'll meet at 9:00 AM at the Rt. 251 trailhead and plan to be out a couple of hours. I'll bring the tools. Bring water to drink and dress for the weather. Come when you can and stay as long as you want as all help is appreciated.
I am trying to do a better job of using the tools that the NCTA has provided for getting the word out about what is going on. One of those neat tools is the calendar of events on their website, which you can reference here. The other PA chapters have been filling in their activities too, so if you want some notice of what is happening around the state (and the trail as a whole) you can reference this.
Hope to see you Thursday and/or Saturday morning on the trail. Thanks for all you do!
