Another One in the Books

It was kind of bittersweet… no, just bitter, to spend those volunteer hours doing trail cleanup after yet another lackluster winter season. Oh well, I guess that’s how it goes sometimes. Predictions are looking better for next season, but we’ll believe it when we see it, right? I guess we did have some little moments this year, but they were very little and far between.

A big thanks to Siobhan for spearheading the effort this spring! She really stepped up and organized a little hard-core group, and then went back out with Anders and finished the fence take-down for pickup and storage. Also a big shout-out to Dina and her 70 yrs young mom, Olga, for spending so many hours a couple of weeks ago. Huge effort there, 5 stars!

There are still some trees down and a couple of odds and ends, but we’re looking good for the rest of spring and summer.

Heading back to the summer storage shack — 3 full loads
Lots of trees were down and blocked access to the different sections of fencing to be picked up
This one was a mess, and it’ll need more cleanup work later in the summer or fall
It’s always a bummer when one of our “landmark trees” falls down
Most of the trees were these old aspens that aren’t too hard to clear, thankfully!
