Boundary (Area E) we received enough funding
 to develop and produce quality
mapping for our Trails and Kiosks. These should be finished and
installed in March or April of this year. In the meantime the new maps are
available for download on this website's Trail
Maps page. |
| March 6th, 2010 Hiked to the top and did all three sign in boxes.
Beautiful weather and trail mostly dry. A very few slippery spots up in
the top sections of the mountain but easily avoided.
Great Hike. Going again tomorrow.
River trail in good shape. |
| Feb 17th Hiked to the top of the mountain this afternoon. Trail

trails yesterday. Good thing I had boot chains. Very icy.

| Dec 7th, 2009 Meeting was held at the Glenburn Coffee House to discuss the possibility of forming a "Trails Stewardship Committee." It was informative and well attended. A second meeting is to be scheduled for early in the new year. Contact Tannis Killough for more information. |
| Dec 7, 2009 James Haynes and James Graham approached Midway Council to update them on the local trail system's progress and request Council's support for future projects. The meeting went well. Council will write a letter of support for the project and will commit to offering equipment and manpower to operate equipment next year if we get the funding. |
