Moms Day Recap and Tuesday 5/10 Plan

Good Evening Fellow NCTr's:

As I predicted, it turned out to be the BEST MOTHERS DAY EVER with seven of our Wampum crew out in the woods on a beautiful Sunday afternoon digging yards and yards of sidehill trail near Painter Run. We walked in from the west side of the run, which turned out to be unfortunate decision on my part, as we needed to be on the east side to continue working on what the SCA crew had accomplished last weekend, and the water level hadn't dropped enough to make a crossing easy. But we improvised, adapted, and overcame to get to where we needed to be.

My thanks to Gordon Meader, Tim Ramsey, Maa and Dennis Garrett, and Lee and Eleanor (Maa) Fairbanks - (it is Mothers Day) - for coming out to work on the new section of trail. Moving right along out there! Some pics from today start here.

Tuesday morning, May 10 we'll take another run at putting a Carsonite post in near the River Road trailhead at Cemex and dress up some sidehill above the railroad tracks near the treestand so the DR mower can be manuevered through there. We were rained out last Tuesday - this week looks much more promising! Leaving from the front of Jata's Diner in Wampum at 9:00 AM to make the drive to River Road and plan to be out for a couple of hours. I'll bring the tools. If mom missed trailwork today and still wants to get out in the woods bring her along. And, if you'd like, come earlier to Jata's for breakfast.

Thanks for all you do for the trail.
