Trail Building Session Cancelled Due to Weather

Unfortunately, weather challenges are forcing us to cancel Saturday’s (2/26) session. It is unfortunate because we were excited about our upcoming project. We’re building another bridge on La-Z-Boy and plan to reroute a section to eliminate an area with poor drainage. While our major work (the building) of La-Z-Boy ended months ago, we’re working hard on drainage. It is an awesome trail, but managing the water runoff has been challenging. We fully intend for it to be sustainable trail before we move onto our next project.

We hope to see a solid turnout next session, to make-up for this cancellation.

Thanks for your interest in our work.

Trail Maintenance & Improvements For La-Z-Boy

Join us this Saturday, Feb 12th, as we continue maintenance work on La-Z-Boy. We'll be making an already fun trail even better with addition of a new bridge and more crushed rock. We meet at the top of Little Mountain Park in Mount Vernon at 10:00am. Coffee and donuts are provided by our friends at the Mount Vernon Haggen.

Hope to see you there!

Excellent Weather for Trail Work

Drainage and fill material added to La-Z-Boy.

On January 22 we enjoyed excellent weather for our trailbuilding session and we accomplished a substantial amount of maintenance work on La-Z-Boy trail. The extra rain we've received lately showed us which sections of the trail needed better drainage and/or more fill material.

We'd like to thank our new volunteers who worked all day carrying wheelbarrows full of rock and gravel: Dan Howard, Kristin and Tanner Smith, Bill Clay, and Katy Bluhm.

The Estep family was gracious enough to bring out two delicious soups and homemade bread for us at lunch time. This was greatly appreciated by all the volunteer trail builders.

Lunchtime!

While everyone else was doing the hard work Art, Hal, and Matt went route finding for our next trail building project. Exciting things to come!

Join us for our next session February 12th at Little Mountain Park.

Mount Vernon's Wellness Committee Volunteers

McKenzie Meyers and Veronica Bell

The Wellness Committee was one of our best groups in 2010. Their large group showed up at Little Mountain early, worked hard, and stayed most of the day. In one session they amassed enough volunteer trailbuilder hours to finish third in our group competition. We sincerely hope they join us again in 2011.
