Annual trail work day. Spring of 26 April 4th.
Weather 33` misty morning after 3 in of rainfall. Following a rain event of 2 in only one day prior. Damp conditions only briefly hindered the zeal of these amazing volunteers who dedicate their precious time so that you can enjoy the miles of Trails.
Diehards Andy Buttner, Rocky Lawrence, Steve Plantz Richard Locey Tina weigel and Mike Harris. 3 two person crews cleaned and opened the 25 miles of Trails this day. Hours of physical hands on labor. Left camp at 9. Returned by 4. This year was the worst ever.
Please thank these volunteers. If it weren't for their continued support and dedication your castle rock horse trails would not be usable/passable.
If you are able to support the trail system financially we have a gofundme account on this page and we are hoping to purchase a drum mulcher attachment to aid in the Neverending process of widening Trails. The overhead stuff is best cleared by hand. If you cannot support financially we need many volunteers to get the hand work done that is needed so badly.
Our diehards are aging and will step down soon opening the door to others to step up and show up. Every trail work day is satisfying because of the accomplishment of our efforts. Knowing that there's quality maintenance happening several times a year.
We've suggested this before and will again. If your club or group would like to adopt a section of trail to maintain and improve we would appreciate that so much. If a half dozen groups would commit every single trail user could benefit.
These castle rock horse trails are open year round. Require no annual passes and are funded and maintained by donations only and volunteers only. Please consider what is your part in keeping these trails open for years to come. Only you can ensure the future of this unique fixture that is nearing dilemma if people don't step up now.
Thanks for all you do
Thank you q
