Join us this Saturday for our third Trail Work Day of this year, when we join Friends Wilderness and FLOC to work once more on the Rolling Ridge perimeter trail.
Ahoy, me hearties!!! Saturday is also International Talk Like a Pirate Day, so bring your best "pirate speak," your own water bottle, and a willing spirit. A light lunch, all the necessary trail tools, work gloves and water will be provided.
Bring your family, your friends, and anyone else who would like to spend a day in the wilderness helping to work on our trails. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet other people from each of the partner groups, and a time for those who love this land and mountain to join together in common work. We'll work together morning and afternoon with a break for lunch, and have plenty of time for hearty conversation along the way with ye maties!! Arrr!!!.
Please RSVP to FLOC so they know how many lunches to make. Contact Kevin Hughes at 304.725.0409 or khughes@floc.org. Meet at the FLOC Lodge at 9:00 am. For directions, see http://www.rollingridge.net/index.cfm?action=about_us.directions.
We plan to focus on reclaiming the Rolling Ridge Perimeter Trail that borders the Appalachian Trail. This trail encompasses the entire 1,400 acres of Rolling Ridge Foundation lands and is in need of rebuilding, rerouting and remarking. Trail maintenance skills are not required -- the knowledgeable staff of FLOC Outdoors will be present to lead the process.
