In The Clouds


Thursday February 21,2008 – In the Clouds

We had four very hardy traildogs today as we began the finish work on the last half-mile of trail. The cold front came in while were there prying all the loose boulders that were threatening the lower part of the trail below the switchbacks. Within an hour of our arrival the temperature dropped about 15 degrees and the clouds dropped down on the mountain as it began to rain. The area we were working was freshly dug red clay and within minutes was a really muddy goop. We decided there would be a better day to try and finish this section.

We will have a workday tomorrow Friday February 22 with a start time of 9:00 am. We will rally at the parking area on top of the mountain at the end of the picnic area. We will be working the entrance to the rail instead of the switchback sloop.

Pack a lunch and fluids and join us.

Come when you can and leave when you want but join us.

I have attached a couple of pictures of the dig team at he point where the trail was completed.
