Itinerary:

We'll meet in the parking lot (at Powers Island...see directions and map below), get a safety review, walk to the trail, and work for roughly 3-4 hours.  If you can't make the 4 hours, that's fine - arrive/leave as you wish.

As a certified crew leader, I'll explain correct trail design, construction and maintenance on-site.  You'll gain an appreciation for a well built and sustainable trail.

The trip leaders for this event are looking forward to Saturday and hope you are too.

PATRICK WILL BE IN AN ORANGE SHIRT WITH A BASEBALL HAT EMBLZONED WITH CREW LEADER.  Look for him as the point of contact.

 

As of now we are still on for an 8am start.  Patrick will conduct a mini-class on trail design, construction and maintenance, then we'll work the trails utilizing your recently gained knowledge.  If you wish to skip the class, plan to start at 8:30, a shuttle will take us from the parking lot to the trailhead.
