IMBA 2009 Visit - reddingmountainbiking's Photos- powered by SmugMug

This is our project for our 2009 IMBA Trail Care Crew visit this coming October 8-11. I approached park superintendant Jim Milestone with our idea for a project on a problem section of trail at Whiskeytown National Park. A lot of man hours were approved to get this project "ready" for our TCC visit. Now, all we need is your help at the volunteer day on October 10th. Today, 9/05/09 we got the rocks into place on the trail for placement during our workday. PLEASE, mark your calendars to come out for this event!

reddingmountainbiking > Suprise, suprise! We left the rocks overnight and had an uninvited guest show up!

reddingmountainbiking > The rest of the solution: A motorized wheelbarrow and a backhoe to load it!
