Baker Trail Maintenance at Mahoning Dam

We are in the process of rerouting the Baker Trail between Government and German Road. The trail will be relocated along the Army Corp property with the water as the view. It should be WONDERFUL once its done. We are building new trail and there is a tremendous amount of side hill work that needs done in time for the UltraChallenge August 29th. We will meet at 9AM at the Dam upper parking lot which overlooks the spillway and the out flow of the dam. If you do not have Pulaski or McLeod we can provide one along with the fine art of how to create a bench for foot traffic along a hillside. Please call and let me know you are coming. Bring gloves, lunch and plenty of water!
If you only have a couple of hours to spare, that is fine. Hopefully you can join us!
