    It's time to move some dirt! We are renting a mini excavator at Quarry Ridge from 10/10 through 10/13. Here is a list of some initial plans for what we will be doing:
    • Fixing rutted trails and erosion issues (possibly adding rollers or other fun features at the same time).
    • Enhancing the Three Sisters trail.
    • Finishing B. Line.
    • Adding jumps and berms to Drop Zone (we'll be building the crossover bridge feature soon).
    • Removing stumps.
    Check out attached drawing on the main forum thread for a concept of what we will be doing.

    Excavators are good at moving and packing piles of dirt, but the finished product needs helpers to shape and smooth the features into a finished trail. This is where we need your help!

    Closer to the date and throughout the weekend, we will be posting up more exact details updating volunteers on when and where you can find us to help out. Tentatively, we will be working from 8 to 5 each day, and likely starting earlier and ending closer to dark. Any help would be appreciated!

    Bring gloves, water, and bug spray!

    Please note that portions of the trail will be closed intermittently as we work on them throughout the weekend.
