SUMMARY:Trailwork Party - November 9th
DESCRIPTION:Weekly Update: The push this week will be to do the rough clean up that last 400 feet. The rocks need to be separated from the needed dirt and then hauled away. After it is cleaned the trail bed will be smoothed out\, protruding rocks removed\, the back slope will be added\, any narrow spots fixed and then gravel will be laid down. This is the fun part because you get to see completed trail being made. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe 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! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSchedule:Work days are Thursday to SundayTime – 8 to noon \n\n\n\nMeeting Place: \n\n\n\nTBD \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe 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

SUMMARY:Trailwork Party - November 2nd
DESCRIPTION:Update: The project to widen about a half mile section of the Skyline Trail is in the threes. We have worked on it for three weeks\, a third of the trail is completed\, a third has had the initial cleanup and the final third is just a mess. As a comparison\, last spring we completed about 1000 feet in 7 weeks doing all the digging by hand. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe Skyline Trail from the upper service road crossing to the junction with the Canyon Trail by the towers will remain closed until this project is completed. \n\n\n\nThe push this week will be to clean up that last third. The rocks need to be separated from the needed dirt and then hauled away. After it is cleaned the trail bed will be smoothed out and then the gravel will be laid down. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe Trailmaster will lead work parties every Thursday through Sunday mornings starting at 8 and ending at noon until around Thanksgiving.

SUMMARY:Trailwork Party - October 24th
DESCRIPTION:Now two weeks into the fall trail work season and the project to a half mile of the Skyline Trail. We lost today due to the high winds but the last night’s rain was much needed and will make the work and trail better. The work with the excavator has been completed and now the trail needs to be cleaned up. The rocks need to be separated from the needed dirt and then hauled away\, then the trail bed smoothed out and new gravel put down. Right now it is about 35% cleaned up and 10% has new gravel. Lots left so come help! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe Skyline Trail from the upper service road crossing to the junction with the Canyon Trail by the towers will remain closed until this project is completed. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe 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! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTHE SCEDULE:Work days are Thursday to SundayTime – 8 to noon \n\n\n\nMeeting Place for all days this week: by the Trails Building at the Badger Mountain Westgate parking lot off of Dallas Road. We will then carpool to near the work site. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe 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

SUMMARY:Trailwork Party - April 20th
DESCRIPTION:Weekly Update: This will be the last week of the spring trailwork season.  If you were planning to help then this is it until October. There will be some days of cutting the weeds back with string trimmers and maybe pulling tumbleweeds. With the wet winter there will probably be lot of them. It was a good week with great weather and crews. OK Saturday’s crew was not so good because I had only one helper but I had good turnout the other three days including 10 helpers from Visit Tri-Cities on Thursday. Got a lot done that day. Over the four days we completed another 300 feet in our project to widen and regravel the Skyline Trail. The work is going quicker because the uphill bank is not as tall.  \n\n\n\nTrailwork Plan: Widening the Skyline Trail will continue being the main work for this season.  We will be making it at least 5 feet wide from below the summit working our way west. For all of these we will meet at the Trails Building by the Westgate Parking lot off of Dallas Road (west side of Badger) and then carpool to near the work.The trailmaster will provide all the tools and even some homemade cookies at the mid-morning break. Volunteers need to bring work gloves\, water\, and snacks with a small pack to carry them\, and dress for the weather forecast.

Please let the trailmaster know that you are coming by sending an email to trailmaster@friendsofbadger.orgCan’t make it this week? Well there will be work parties until mid-April.

SUMMARY:Trailwork Party - March 28th
DESCRIPTION:Weekly Update: Last week we lost three days due to the weather but while it was blowing outside we finished the work in the Trails Building Thursday and Saturday\, the one good weather day\, we did some exploratory work for a trail to Little Badger.  No Badger Mountain Challenge runners over there!Trailwork Plan: Widening the Skyline Trail will continue being the main work for this season.  We will be making it at least 5 feet wide from below the summit working our way west. For all of these we will meet at the Trails Building by the Westgate Parking lot off of Dallas Road (west side of Badger) and then carpool to near the work.The trailmaster will provide all the tools and even some homemade cookies at the mid-morning 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.orgCan’t make it this week? Well there will be work parties until mid-April. Pick a day and get a friend to come with you and let the trailmaster know you are coming.Jim LangdonTrailmaster\, Friends of Badger MountainTrailmaster@friendsofbadger.org509-943-3992 (home-best) or 509-940-7234 (cell)

SUMMARY:Trailwork Party - March 16th
DESCRIPTION:Weekly Update: With the start of the spring trail work season last week’s crew completed the 75 foot long trail extension on the Candy Mountain summit and ran us out of rocks for the rock wall on the Sagebrush Trail along with fixing the fence in the Westgate parking lot. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAgain this spring the trailmaster will have work parties every Thursday through Sunday starting at 8 and ending at noon. Our end date is when the soil dries out or the trailmaster gets tired\, so some time around the middle of April. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTrailwork Plan: OK\, for this week the trailmaster will have a collection of jobs and which one we work will depend on how many helpers there are. Adding rocks along the edge of the Candy Trail or widening the Skyline Trail or maybe placing some signs and a barricade or two. For all of these we will meet at the Trails Building by the Westgate Parking lot off of Dallas Road (west side of Badger) and then carpool to near the work. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe trailmaster will provide all the tools and even some homemade cookies at the mid-morning break.
