Team,
What a terrific day to be outside!!! Work on the “stairway to heaven” brought out about 20 to 25 volunteers. We accomplished a great amount of work fixing up the existing rockwork and adding new.
We encountered many groups of trails users from hikers, runners, and mountain bikers from near and as far as the wilds of Harrisonburg!! All groups were highly interested in the work at hand and appreciative of our efforts.
All in all…it was a fun day sharing laughs and hard work with fellow trail enthusiasts and friends!
I will keep you posted on any and all work efforts forthcoming.
Our next ASR Team Trail Day will be on Saturday, December 12th.
Please remember to forward your trail work hours to Marianne at ossie195@verizon.net
Here are a few photos of the day:
