Update: It was another good week of work on the project to widen a half mile of the Skyline Trail. The trail was prepared for gravel and then graveled with now only about 400 feet remaining to be worked. The Inter-Mountain Alpine Club (I-MAC) provide a lot of help on Saturday.

We got the CanyCom, our tracked gravel hauler, working again on Tuesday. The fuse block was damaged during a vandalism incident a few weeks ago and it took a while to trace that intermittent fault down. The fuel gauge still isn’t working right and there is a short in the horn but we can get around these problems.

The Trailmaster will lead work parties every Thursday through Sunday mornings starting at 8 and ending at noon until around Thanksgiving. The work will be to complete the Skyline Trail project and then move on to other maintenance. The Trailmaster knows, you always wanted to help but can’t seem to get an open day to do it. Well you can schedule a day now and maybe find a friend to come along!

Schedule:
Work days are Saturday and Sunday
Time – 8 to noon

Meeting Place:

Trails Building at Westgate Trailhead

The Trailmaster will provide all the tools and even some homemade cookies at the break. Volunteers need to bring work gloves, water, and snacks with a small pack to carry them, and dress for the weather forecast. There isn’t any work for preteens – it is hard to keep them motivated for 4 hours. Those 13 to 15 will have to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. You will need to sign-up so the Trailmaster can plan the work, bake enough cookies and let you know if plans change. Please let the Trailmaster know that you are coming by sending an email to trailmaster@friendsofbadger.org
