First Trail Work Day at Harmon Park

[KleinCrazy]

Greetings All,


This message is to let everyone know that the first scheduled trail work day at Harmon Park will be Wednesday, July 2 2003.

I am been in contact with a number of people who have expressed interest in helping with this park and anyone else is most welcome to come and help.

We have a couple of days worth of finishing work on the Core trail that was flagged and started during the IMBA Hot Spots Program.

Later in the Summer we will also be laying out and flagging more trails in the park with an estimated final milage of somewhere near 6 miles.

So here is the lowdown.

Where: Harmon / Salem Hills Park, Inver Grove Heights
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?addtohistory=&country=US&address=upper+55th+ave+%26+Asher+Ave.&city=inver+grove+heights&state=mn&zipcode=&historyid=&submit.x=49&submit.y=15

When: Wednesday Nights starting at 6:00pm and ending before 9:00.
Who: Anyone interested in helping to build the first Mountain Bike Trail in the SouthEast Metro.
What to Bring/Wear: Water, Gloves, Bug Spray, Long Pants, Boots, short or Long Sleeve Shirt.

MORC will provide the Tools for working on the trail, and will be around to teach the Ins and Outs of Sustainable Trail Building.

If you have any questions, or need directions please feel free to get ahold of me.

I created the Harmon Park Trail Work web page - there is an email sign-up list on that page where you can sign up and stay informed about upcoming trail work sessions etc.

This similar list exists on the Lebanon Hills Trail Work web page as well.

Here is the new Harmon web page:

I'm sure we'll have more pictures and details on this page soon...

I think the sign at the enterance to the park says Salem Park, or Salem Hills. I've been meaning to ask why it is called Harmon Park? See you there.

I'll miss the first day of work!

Sorry, gang. I've got my show coming up and we've got a practice tonight for it. But, I promise, once the show's done ...

... I'll have a wedding to get ready for ...

But, really, after that's all done ...

... I'll be on a honeymoon ...

*sigh*

Yeah, I'll help out sometime next year probably ... :(

I'd like to thank everyone who showed up for the first work day at Harmon.

Jan, JJ, Drew, Kevin, Phillip, Luther, and Yours truely all went out and almost finished backcutting and deberming the Core loop that was dingoed during the Hot Spots Program.

JJ will be the Crew lead next week as I will be out of town so if you have any questions ask us both.

The trail ride very fast and the corner can sneak up on you if your not careful. When done, this initial core loop should be a great taste of what is to come in this wonderful park.

Thanks Again to Everyone who showed up and I hope to you some new faces in the Wednesdays to come.
