$2,500 of limestone was placed at the
Gillentown Trailhead. The stone was procured with some
of the funds accumulated from the 2005 ATV raffle. Thanks for those
people that sold and
purchased tickets for the ATV. Your support is used to benefit all
of us that utilize the trail.
Perry Mason recently purchased two power
saws from True Value Hardware in Snow Shoe. They will be used by
members for trimming brush on or along the trail. One saw will be
stored at Munson with Dick Rockey and the other saw will be stored
at Gillentown with Trilby Mayes. Anyone seeing brush or trees that
could be a safety issue or anyone wanting to perform some trimming
along the trail can sign a saw out through one of the executive
officers.
