What: Trail work on “Red Diamond” Trail (Trail #428A Slate Springs) with a goal of 20 volunteers.
When: Saturday, December, 2 8am to 1:30pm (leave Mr. J’s at 8am be back by 1:30pm) Folks are welcome to meet on-site anytime, 4 wheel drive required.
Why: The trail has seen some serious wear and tear lately from the elements and is due for some love. Big trenches in the tread, trees down, overgrown, and more.
Where: Meet at Mr. J’s Bagels on 42 South or out on the trail. The trail is accessible from Hone Quarry at bottom (high clearance vehicle required) and from the top near Flagpole Knob.
