Saturday April 9: Trailwork and social event

Spring is here and it's finally time for trail building to begin! Our first work day of the year will be all about renewing old acquaintances and making new friends. Join us on Saturday April 9 at 10am for burgers, socializing, and some trailwork too. We'll meet east of the Joe Moore Reservoir boat ramp which provides easy access to the Blue Jay Trail (directions below). In addition to some fun social time, we will review basic trail work skills, sharpen and repair tools to get them ready for the season, and pluck some rocks from the new Blue Jay Trail (if you've been on it at all this spring, you've probably noticed there are a LOT of loose rocks). 

Note that if you're interested in adopting a segment of the Mancos Spur Trail, this is a great opportunity to brush up on your trail maintenance skills.

• When: Saturday April 9 at 10 am
• Where: Park east of the boat ramp on the south side of the road at Joe Moore State Wildlife Area near the “Dead End” sign.  Directions below.
• What: Trail work - plucking rocks mostly. Also sharpen and repair tools, trail maintenance skill review. Wear long pants, sturdy boots or closed-toe shoes, gloves, and eye protection. Bring a day pack with water, snacks, sun protection, and necessary personal items. MTG will provide tools. Feel free to bring your own trail tool if you have a personal favorite. 

Directions: From the Chicken Creek parking lot, go a few hundred feet west on Road P to Road 40.2, following the sign for Joe Moore Reservoir. Turn north on 40.2 and continue past the boat ramp. Park east of the boat ramp on the south side of the road at Joe Moore State Wildlife Area near the “Dead End” sign. This provides the closest access to the work zone and has shaded parking.
