Project Description
The Pioneer-Cabin Trail project will replace sixteen water bars with rolling grade dips. The sixteen existing water bars, located in the first 3 miles of the trail, no longer function. Consequently the trail has become “v” shaped and has widened to nearly 6 feet in places and has developed braided side trails paralleling the eroded sections. The rolling grade dips, are the preferred structure for long term, low maintenance trail drainage. The goal of the project is eliminate progressive erosion of the trail and restore the tread back to its original 24 inch width.

Sign me up!
I’d like to help on this project and may be able to get others to join me. I’m age 65, but with a lot of outdoor experience and fire fighting so know how to use hand tools and chain saws and have a lot of camping experience. I’d like to know if this is a for sure event and how many people you are needing on this project.
