Well, the snow melted off and we had a good productive day at the trails. It was cool, but a comfortable cool. After all the rain we got this last week, we decided to focus on drainage issues. Brad and I gutted out the right side of the 2nd lip in Geronimo. It needed done in order to allow that area to dry up enough to make it ridable after rains. Many barrows of gravel were removed to the perimeter of the plateu behind Geronimo's 1st landing for future plans of filling this area with a new line.
Four New York state boys came down and put some work in on the bowl spine area. They are making progress, but are still digging virgins. We discussed showing them some of our techniques for easier mass excavation of rooty soil. We are just pumped that they are down making an effort and can't wait to ride also.
Dave and Chevy showed up about the time we finished drainage on Geronimo. Efforts were turned towards the old last landing in the Main Line. This area has always been a problem if we get more then 1/2" of rain and shuts the trails down if more then that. The ditch running to the side of the plateu was widened and deepened along with more dirt between the set removed. The landing was stacked up on the back side to form the standard dank pad and the landing widened on both sides to the trees. This landing is now wide enough to land an airplane.
If the rain holds off, Sunday should be a little of much needed riding time.
