Trail Conditions for 7-27-18
The crew has had a whirlwind couple of weeks out on the trails. They finished four bridges in Black Canyon and one in Phillip’s Canyon with the help of Carney Logan and Burke Architects who had 30 volunteers haul lumber and rocks to finish the bridge just this morning. The style of bridge we are building assembles quickly but the slow part is hauling all the lumber miles into the forest to the bridge sites and then getting rocks, gravel, and dirt for the approaches. Anyone interested in what we call “trail crew crossfit” should come out with us one day. The crew also cleared Phillip’s Pass and Ski Lake, brush cut Putt Putt and Hagen, and cleaned all the drains on those trails. We also had help from Lillard Flyfishing who brush cut the Kelly’s and lower Josie’s Ridge loop which was getting overgrown in places. We are still working with Wildflower Watch and Nature Mapping JH to monitor plants, animals, and trail use in Cache Creek each week to look at long term trends. Next week look for the crew working with more volunteers on bridges on the History Trail and West Game. ps they like taking a funny picture after finishing each bridge so feel free to suggest something for the next one.
