  • December: 9 tons of gravel to move onto the Ivy Road segment (heading towards Observatory Hill).
  • December: Rutted and muddy trail conditions 'before'.
  • December: Trail condition after a healthy layer of gravel.
  • December: Moving 9 tons of gravel, one wheelbarrow load at a time.
  • A new trail surface. We'll eventually finish of the segment, build up the trail profile to better shed water, and finish it off with a nice coat of dirt.
  • November: The rock pile had been reduced by almost half by noon. A few hearty volunteers came out the following weekend and got the rest moved into place.
  • November: By the end of the morning, the drainage channel had been completely buttressed. The large rocks will allow water to drain through without further eroding the hillside.
  • November: How many people does it take to move one rock?
  • November: Smaller rocks could be moved using dollies.
  • November: Leading down to the culvert, the drainage outflow was buttressed with the largest pieces of stone.
  • November: Chain nets and a large crowd was needed to move the heaviest pieces.
  • November: A very big pile of very big--and very heavy--rocks. We're all staring at the pile, a bit stunned by the size of the job ahead of us!
  • November: Serious erosion, and a rickety pallet. We did some work here in January, but a year of heavy rain and erosion required some larger-scale efforts.
  • October 26: Loop de Ville! Fourteen hikers completed the entire circuit.
  • March - Raised trailbed between Locust and Holmes, with improved drainage and wood chips
  • February - Recycled deckboards ready for future use
  • February - Supply of recycled deck boards in storage for future bridge and walkway projects
  • February - dismantling the deck at EcoVillage on Rio Road
  • January - another view of the improved 5th Street culvert. (It held up for a while, but we had to return in November for some larger-scale repairs.)
  • January - shored-up and buttressed trail at 5th Street culvert
  • January - Washed out conditions at the 5th Street culvert
