Blue Heron Workday
April 24
Work Day @ Country Park
Fat Tire Society Annual Meeting
April 24
I'm making
a few changes and although I'm waiting to hear from the city to confirm please
plan on Saturday April 24th as our next workday. We are going to finish some
of Blue Heron including the bridge that I set the posts for on the past two
days.
Since both our Feb and March workdays were cancelled due to the weather we have a lot that we want to get done before it gets hot!
I have some follow-up to do with Zack on more of the CP upgrades but he will be looking for some helping hands for those who need to help out on a weekday instead of a weekend.
Reminder we need your help on Saturday the 24th. You can help anytime between 8:30AM - 4:00PM location will be on Blue Heron.
Directions to start will be provided later in the week. Mark your calendar!
Update 4/22/10 -
We will be meeting on Bobwhite Lane.
To get there take Church Street North out of town. Cross the lake and pass the trailheads for BH & RF once you are at the top of the hill take the first right hand turn on Archergate road.
Then turn right on Bobwhite Lane, we will meet at the end of the cul du sac on Bobwhite. Please park on the far edge of the road before the cul du sac but not in the cul du sac. (Since the dump truck will need to be able to turn around in the cul du sac). Also please park on the pavement and not the shoulder. Thanks

Work Day @ Country Park
CP workday this Sunday March 7
Meet at Safety Town at 12:00 and plan on walking in.
No vehicles are allowed in the park on weekends and we can't park in the cemetary.
If you can't make it at 12:00 come when you can.
Go to the Jailhouse and walk/ride down through the grassy field and into the woods. You'll see us on the left.
Plans right now are to rock armor 3 spots.
If more than just a few folks show we'll reroute a small section, cut some drains and do some deberming.
Basic maintenance.
What to bring:
Water & snack
Gloves
Shovel/rake/dirt moving tool if you can
Hope to see you Sunday.
