Good Evening Fellow NCTr's:
We had a good morning on the trail today, installing 1 and 1/2 bridges at Cemex near the lime kiln. We only installed 1/2 of the second bridge because the procurer of materials can't count lag screws and rebar pieces. But we did the hard part, which was carrying in the lumber and getting the beams leveled and set. These bog bridges will help ease passage over those little streams that cut through that area.
And . . . Tom Scardina weedwacked a ton of the trail through that section. And . . . we got to meet up with a new trailworker - Tom Bogdan of Wampum. My thanks to Tom, Tom, Jake Erhardt, Lee Fairbanks, and Eleanor Fairbanks (who was playing hookey from Kennywood today) for coming out. A few photos of the beautiful morning start here.
Friday morning I'll be heading to the Sankey Hill Road trailhead at 9:00 AM to spend time a) working through some sections with the DR mower or b) working through there with the weedwacker, or c) both. The use of the DR is dependent upon my vehicle situation and the weather coming together. In any event, I'll be working on clearing trail at 9:00 on Friday morning (until ?). So come on out if you'd like. Spring has really taken off and there is much clearing and pruning to do!
Also wanted to appreciate Jim Rarick and Gail Blakely for spending their sunny evening indoors today working with the Wampum Boro Council members on the proposed Trail Town designation documents. Good meeting - good stuff.
Thanks for all you do for the trail!
Dave
