We will meet at Shelter C at 9am, fresh doughnuts
will be provided. Come collect trash and waypoint-mark fallen trees
for the Park.
In association with the State Park we have come up with
chance to help clean the park up and help them out in another
way... use your GPS to waypoint locations of trees that have fallen
across their trails....
Oh, and get a nice Sunday morning hike in the
process :)
Bring your GPS and park map and choose a trail to
walk...as far as you want. Waypoint tree location and mark the map
with approximate location. We will also provide trash bags for
trash collection, and we do recommend that you bring gloves to
protect your handsWe will meet at Shelter C, chat a bit,eat and
then set out on one of four trails...your choice, and as long as
you want along each trail. Choose the Hattaway Mountain
Trail (2.0 miles, strenuous), Fall Mountain
Trail (4.0 miles, moderate) or the Long Loop
Bridleway (9.3miles, moderate). The Quarry
Trail (0.6miles, easy) is also an option, but is unlikely
to have trees down. Feel free to break off and set back along the
trail at your pace. I will accept waypoints after the event to pass
back to the Park for them to better target tree clearing.
So come on out Sunday Morning at 9am, meet at grab
a doughnut, a Trail Map, a GPS, trash bag and help us clean up a
beautiful park.
Trail map is available
here.
