Tichnor Trail Cleanup

On Oct 17, 10 of us descended on this Tichnor trail to start some clean up work. The trail is actually a class 6 road, but so neglected you couldn't see it if you fell over it. The beginning of the trail from Slayton Hill Rd was completely overgrown and about 200 yards in it was more or less washed out and turned into a gully.  We armoured the bank here and there and used large rocks to counteract the erosion and to use as stepping stones for the trail.  Further up some large trees had fallen across and they were sawn up and also used for erosion control as water bars. The whole project was supervised by Ron Bailey who is the city's trail expert. He volunteered his service. This was a fun project and I enjoyed organizing it.
