Friday 19th

Quick update:
Well, I got out around 1 and we had a HUGE posse out there. I called ahead and knew we had 12 people out there, so I picked up lil’ caesars for the guys for lunch. By the time I got there, we had over 20 folks!! Because we were pretty much caught up to Andrew, I had guys concentrate on shutting down the old trail, transplanting ferns and we also totally blocked off the old section of Dan’s between the Luge and PT. I want to make sure folks don’t wander onto the new trail from there – which happened today when some dudes came over from PT to get to Atomic Dog. I’m gonna put a sign on PT that tells riders the Luge is closed.

Because we built a couple of big features today, we didn’t make as much progress. Roughly ~200 feet, but we’re about to round a corner to an old skidder road that won’t require as much initial clearing, has a killer dirt supply and should go faster. Andrew, Colin and I will be out tomorrow working on that section and the goal is to get Andrew ahead of the pack, so folks can concentrate on shaping dirt.

Some pics.

A table to a hip combo.
