Second trail FINISHING session Saturday 30rd October 11AM to approx 3PM Parkers Picnic Ground off of Columbus Road in Bloomington (directions below).
We completed a great deal (80%) of the finishing work last weekend - as winter is coming on we would like to finish the remaining 100ft of finishing which is located on the East end of the East re-route. We will also be completing the construction of the 14 foot bridge and the boardwalk which are located on the West re-route.
NOTE: there is a large work session going on this weekend at Wirth - therefore we won't have alot of tools on hand - so my plan here is not to steal from that workforce but if you like some of us can only get to Bloomington several of us will be working in Bloomington starting around 10:30-11AM so feel free to join us. There is also a buckthorn-bust going on over at the Pond home (just west of our re-routes) so feel free to join that as well I will forward details when I receive them.
We also may need some help carrying in materials for one of the bridges we are constructing.
Meet at the Parkers Picnic area parking lot at 11AM, Saturday October 30th. Bring gloves a regular or flat bottomed shovel (preferred), garden rake or leaf rake, and/or loppers if you have them. Bring water. I suggest wearing work boots since we may be working near a stream. If you arrive late, go thru the gate on the east of the lot to the trail area, and find us by following the ribbon and cleared trail which starts part way down the big hill about 150 yards east of the picnic table - we may be working on the 14 foot bridge.
Directions to the parking lot: The areas is near the terminus of Portland Avenue, south of Old Shakopee Road in Bloomington. Get to Portland Avenue from wherever you are – then head south on Portland Ave until you are forced to turn right onto 104th street. Take an immediate left onto 5th Ave circle. Take the next left, on Columbus Road. The parking lot is on the right side at the bottom of the hill.
Apologies if you got this more than once...
