Rocky Ridge Trailwork Report

On Saturday May 30th YAMBA had another Trailwork day. This particular day turned into a maintenance day as I surveyed the damage done by the logging and by water on fall-line trails. A crew of 10 showed up, not knowing what they had gotten themselves into. The days work included a chainsaw, bow saw, pick mattocks', and a lot of heavy lifting. We restored the side trails off of Sues Trail (trail 2) that go through the rock slot. Here we cleared the trail and put the logs back in, and blocked of the open areas caused by the logging trucks. Then we headed over to the fall line section of trail 3 where the parks have been trying to close the trail for 23 years. Here some dug tombstone pits. while others cut and carried a lot of wood to accomplish our goals.

Thanks to the following for coming out to help: Dick Mansberger, Rick Resh, Markus Houser, Dan Walko, Barry Shorts, Dan Bowers, John Funkhouser, Skip Durgin, Susan Moury, and Ed Roberts.
