Last Saturday a dozen of us traded excavators for hand tools and spent the day with the Park County trail crew, rebuilding a washed-out section of high-country trail — re-setting water bars, moving rock, and rerouting a drainage that’s been eating the tread every spring.
Turns out civil constructors are useful volunteers: drainage is drainage, whether it’s a county road or a singletrack. Our crew couldn’t stop themselves from talking about flow lines over lunch.
We build in these mountains, and we live and play in them too. Thanks to the county crew for having us — we’ll be back with more hands (and possibly a mini excavator, if they’ll let us).
