Allamuchy Trail Maintenance

Date: 
Saturday, May 31, 2008 - 8:30am to 2:00pm

Saturday May 31 at Deer Park, 8:30 AM start. Per the message from the Allamuchy trail crew:

Our next TM is set for this Saturday, May 31st at 8:30. We will meet in the second parking lot at Deer Park.

(Directions from Rt 80 are Exit 19 (Rt 517) head south towards Hackettstown. Go approximately 2 miles to Deer Park Rd, make the left turn. Go past the first parking lot until you come to the second at the end of the road.)

The plan is to work on a minor re-route of the white trail. This will involve some clearing of brush, raking and benchcutting a small section. The exact location is near the intersection with the trail that leads to Panther Valley. No need to bring any tools as we will have enough for the group. We will walk in from the third parking lot. (We will have the Park open the gate so we can drive back.)

The event will be rain or shine (barring a torrential downpour), please dress accordingly. We would recommend that each person wears comfortable shoes/boots, bring work gloves, bug spray and water. We will bring bagels to snack on. Everyone will need to complete an NJDEP Volunteer In Parks (VIPs) form, which we will provide that day.

If we have enough energy left after working, we can do a short ride (distance based on the group). The pace will be social/casual and no one will be dropped!
