Mill Mtn Trail Work


It's always nice to give back to your favourite stomping grounds.

Earlier this morning, I joined Paul Chapman for some trail work near the Mill Mountain Discovery Center.

Nothing glamorous like building a rock staircase, see-saw log obstacle, or even making new trail, rather, we just did some needed maintenance on the grounds around the Discovery Center.


Mulch, Mulch,and More Mulch. Although the pile was not quite as big as this photo, the goal today was to spread mulch around the Discovery Center's gardens.

Despite the Girl Scout group canceling due to weather (keeping third grade girls gainfully helping, warm, and dry in forecasted freezing rain can be quite a task.) Paul and I were joined by some regulars, the Donahue Family.

Turns out the weather was not to bad; at least no freezing rain anyway, and most of the mulch still got spread. A good day was had by all :-)

Keep an eye out on East Coasters Bicycles webpage for future trail work opportunities.

Also a shout out to Les, who braved the cold for a road bike ride up to the Star. Sometimes, its about the Need for the Bike.
