Building a trail – October, 2013

Rick and I got together today to plan our extension to the Springwater Trail.  We have been investigating paths around the Schribner valley and last year we started a trail west from Schribner.  This Sunday, we will work to improve that trail and extend it across the top of the hill.

We have two tasks on Sunday.  One portion of the trail built last year is built on a slant that is difficult to hike across.  We will work to flatten the trail to make it easier and safer. Please bring a shovel or rake to help Rick with this portion of the trail.

The rest of us will go to the end of the trail we worked on last year.  From the top of the hill we will follow the orange flags through the wood.  The work is primarily removing fallen branches and some trimming of the trees.  Work gloves and loppers and good hiking boots are the appropriate tools for this team.

After two hours of trail work, come join us for grilled chicken. Please bring a dish to pass.
