Some of the group this past Thursday! |
This past Thursday seemed like old times, 18 people of all ages, riding abilities and strengths getting muddy, building trail and having a good time. Folks kept rolling up the mountain after 5pm, grabbing tools and lending a hand anywhere they could. Each person giving their own personal touch to what will be the next phase of trails on the Western Slope. This massive group effort reminded me of building the "2K Trail" (name after the number of volunteer hours to build that .9 mile trail) 7 years ago. We are building in terrain where there is enough rock to build the great wall of China, so it is not fast or easy work, but we are fortunate to have the support of SVBC and Massanutten Resort.
Vince and others on the mountain of rocks! |
As the work portion of trail work ended I sat on the gravel surface of Del Webb Drive, with a beverage in hand and many new and old friends around, I felt happy! Just plain old good. I commented to Zach Adams (Applachian Dirt) and Sam Skidmore that Thursdays at 8pm is my favorite 30 minutes every week. This is the time to sit back, hang out and rap with friends, all after an amazing group effort to build trails that so many folks with enjoy.
We have some of the finish stone workers around! |
Dylan and Dad, a great time to get muddy together! |
I hope to enjoy some quality time on then trail and gravel road with all of you Thursdays this year!

One of the most important considerations you'll need to give to your business meeting is where you're going to hold it. Whether you are going to use a meeting room in your own office or exploring potential alternatives like seattle convention center, be sure that it fits the occasion.
