Lynn Woods Trail Maintenance - 2009

Project Location: Lynn Woods

Project #: LYW20090426

Date: 04.26.2009

On Sunday April 26 the first 2009 Lynn Woods trail project was completed. It was a hot day and we had a limited number of volunteers who should up. Because of these factors, we had to scale back the amount of trail work. Our goal was to build-up and armor the three major turns on the Espresso Trail, but we were only able to complete one.

The 85 plus degree weather (crazy for April) did not stop the 7 volunteers that worked hard digging, pulling rocks and cutting trees to build up the first switchback turn on the top of Espresso. This switchback was originally cut tight, but we decided to open the turn up by bench cutting the trail line higher into the hillside making the turn wider. We will revisit this trail over the next few weeks making any required adjustments to refine the berm.

As usually, this was a good size project and even with the April heat wave, everyone work hard to get the job done. I want to extend my personal thanks to each individual (listed below) that helped complete this project. The amount of work completed by the volunteers was backbreaking a difficult working on the hillside. I look forward to see everyone again in future trail builds and or maintenance projects.
