Bring your GPS-equipped smartphone so you can download the Loop 8 map and follow the path we take as you explore these massive rock […]

So we’ve set this day aside for beginning that work, and ask you to contact Paul if you’d like to hear what really needs doing. Alternatively, you could just show up with […]

And we need […]

** CANCELED DUE TO SNOW ** Back a month ago, we got most of the ‘Loop 9’ trail work completed. But we ran out of time and missed the Green Rectangle blazing work and ‘trail enhancements’ that’s needed where the trail follows the southern edge of the Great Marsh. Paul will bring the blaze materials and nails. As we’ll probably […]
