On May 6, David, Robin and Julie worked to create a gravel walkway through a chronic muddy area at the start of Homestead trail. After scrounging around and finding enough split locust and moving some gravel from the pile on Laurel branch rd we had us a nice section of path that will keep us out of the mud at this spot very well. It needs to be a little longer, and we will go back at some point and lengthen it to completely bypass the mud there. It is amazing the amount of users this section handles as there was a constant parade of walkers, runners, bikers, dogs, & etc. There will always be a mudhole somewhere in Bent creek, but I promise to fight on to keep the trails draining and drying quickly after a rain. If anyone knows a cheap source for gravel, split locust, rock for armoring, etc, let me know. With the forest service in their current budget crunch, we can’t hope for much help with materials to repair areas that need it. Thanks to the folks that showed up today.

We had an excellent day working on a problem spot on Homestead trail in Bent creek thanks to Dan, Patrick, Julie and David working to improve rideability and reduce erosion where the trail crosses the tiny creek. I was dreading digging through the roots to get the right slope and depth for the rock armoring down the middle. It turned out the roots were mostly superficial. David cut the roots that were making the large step and that was all. We dug through clean dirt to get the bed for the armoring. We made one trip to our rock pile at Trails End. The big rock we used at the low end was a bear to get right, but Dan and Patrick won the wrassling match and got it in place. Julie worked to de-berm the curve above the problem area and create a new drain/grade reversal combo. Hopefully that will keep the water from reaching the problem area and will slow erosion there.
