It's back, again! We're gearing up for another famous Moonlight Work Project on the Borrego/Bear Wallow Trail. Trail work will actually be performed by the light of headlamps and lanterns and YES!...we made great rolling grade dips last year that are still holding their own. The plan this year is to continue with rolling grade dips, armor a small creek crossing, and maybe even pull out rotten water bars. Be sure to come prepared by wearing long pants, long sleeves, leather work gloves, a headlamp, above ankle boots, and safety glasses. Bring a backpack with water. Once we finish our projects (8:30 PM), we'll venture to the closest grill/fire pit and make a fire for s'mores. Please arrive at 5:45 to sign a volunteer agreement. S’mores will be provided. |
