Soggy August 20th!

Ten stalwart volunteers met at 8:00 AM on August 20th despite the unexpected light but continuing rain.  The rain meant no painting, no 4-wheelers, and too wet to work in many areas as there was no way to get the walk behind mowers to the trails.  But there were trail entrances needing cleared and mowing to do on the trails leading out of the campgrounds and an urgent need for clearing of the entrances on the Croton side of the trails.  So off we went to work on those items for the morning.  By 11 am, the lightening had gotten bad enough to drive most of us back to camp and the last three returned from Croton by 11:30.  Much of the multi-flora has escaped until another day due to the weather.  We'd like to have a special mowing date, but between the extra high heat and more rain anticipated, that's not been scheduled.

 Next scheduled group work day is September 20th---see the Activities page for full details.
