Start the new year off right by volunteering to work on trail maintenance with the TTPA.
The TTPA Work Day is scheduled for this Saturday, January 7
Time: 9am
Location: East Fork Trailhead
We will be marking the trail heading north from East Fork where the water pipeline was installed and crossed the trail. It has become difficult to find the trail at various points. We will also do some clean up along the way, so bring clippers and/or loppers if you have them.
Remember to wear gloves, and a jacket in the morning would be a good idea.

We had a very productive workday thanks to Wade and Jamie Hanchar, Kaetlyn and Kris McFarland, Lucy Estabrook, Maureen Miller, Katie and Lizzy Rosdorff and Jack Gilstrap. We policed the trailhead and entry area for trash and debris. Wade, Jamie, Kaetlyn, Kris and I took the Gator on the trail to install new signs and take down several dead trees too close to the trail. This group earned the title “WRECKING CREW!” We cleared alot in a timely manner.
Mission accomplished thanks to Great Volunteers.
Thanks to all,
Jack Gilstrap
