If my wife hasn't gone into labor by then I'll come out and help. Need any materials? Still trying to get rid of corrogated drain pipe, stone, and fabric Smiley.

Noticed the armoring late Saturday afternoon. Looked so good I went around for another loop. Great work guys. Going to try and get out there this weekend. Will we be starting on the advanced section?

I don’t believe that is on the docket yet. I could be wrong. There are some touchups that need done before we can call the ballfield loop complete and move onto what’s next. (A few drainage issues to fix, and a couple of berms left to finish,  repair of the kiosk that was vandalized.)

Flagging on the advanced section will be starting as soon as we finish sprucing up the field loop!

Had a chance to walk some of that property with the dog this morning. There is some very interesting terrain to work with. Hard to believe you're only a mile from home while there. Should be a really interesting addition.

Dropped the extra drainage pipe and bags of stone behind the shed today. It’s not looking like my wife will make it until Sunday without going into labor. I’ll be there if nothing happens by then.

Thanks to everyone that came to trail work! It was a great turnout and we got a lot done. 

Also thanks to mand1ng0sauc3 for dropping off the stones and drainage pipes. Hope all is going well!

Sorry I missed you guys on Sunday. Wound up doing a bunch of yard work on Saturday and f'd up my back. Looks like the cold and rain are dropping a bunch of leaves though so I'll get out there this weekend and do a bit of blowing again. Can't wait to see what you guys got done.

Hey Jeff that's ok! Hope your back is doing better. We're doing a light trail work day next Saturday to open the drains, most are covered by leaves.

Thanks Luis. Back is doing fine, just needed a bit of time to let it rest. Planning on taking a walk in the woods tomorrow with the dog and the leaf blower. Should be a nice way to start the day.
