Wow, what a flurry of activity at the park this weekend! I met at least 9 runners including Kirk, Jason, Eric and friends, plus a new sniff that calls himself Cougar Bait. Ha! I'm telling you, don't worry about any cougars here, I've got you covered.
Larry and crew did some awesome work diverting water on HairPin hill, Rick and Mike cut up a pile of firewood for the totem pole aid station and Eric helped "speed" up the new route on Sheridan Hill.
I, and my people, were helped out a bunch by Rex. Rex is a cool guy that loves the park and the outdoors. Together, we dug a ditch to drain the mud pit, putting all the dug dirt on the low lying area on the trail. See photos - except that's Kirk in the photo, not Rex. Then, in a McNaughton hour, we filled in a trail washout on the west side. Rex came back for more to help cut firewood for the Heavens Gate aid station crew the next day. Finally, we got to get in a long hike, the whole trail, to flip off those little branch pieces that can twist an ankle or tangle your feet, trim the face slappers, besides pulling out the dams that widen the muck up those tiny creek crossings. Hey, the route is ready to run! Are you?
