Highlights from 2017<\/span><\/h1>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 While compiling the numbers for the 2017 summary worklog, I thought I\u2019d offer some of our accomplishments from the season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two of our most active members were unavailable for most of this season, but we did accomplish all the jobs of routine trail tending. \u00a0\u00a0We patrolled all 16 miles of trail we tend, chopping about 50 blowdowns and cleaning all 170 waterbars Spring and Fall. Our trails suffered minimal erosion in the Halloween deluge. \u00a0\u00a0We trimmed brush as needed and painted blazes on schedule. We replaced about 8 old log fixtures on wide trails with new logs. We scouted routes for new trails and attended many meetings. \u00a0We worked 760 hours: compare with 955 hours in 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

We worked 50 hours on a new 34\u2032 bridge on Slade Brook for the Hanover Trails Committee. \u00a0\u00a0We provided the design, materials list, building sequence, joinery for the 34\u2032 hemlock stringers, setting one of the 8x8x8\u2032 sills, and instruction for every stage of the building process. \u00a0\u00a0We instructed them again for a 19\u2032 bridge on Mason Trail on Trescott lands.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our other bridge job was on Cole Pond Trail, where we assembled 7 8\u2032 PT bog bridges across an unavoidable flat 3\/4 mile uphill from the road. \u00a0\u00a0Nearby we built a 20\u2032 pavement along the base of a ledge revetted by a fir log. We also added several more rock steps and pavers and blazed the trail for the first time.<\/span><\/p>\n

We rebuilt a 4-rock waterbar on Winslow Trail that had been failing for years, and hardened the slope downhill of it with a new rock step. \u00a0We also added several new rock steps and a rock waterbar to West Ridge Trail, and cut a short but much dryer relocation on South Ridge Trail.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is not a full list, just the most interesting facts that come to mind. \u00a0Thanks to the devoted volunteers who donated their time to the trails: here\u2019s to them!<\/span><\/p>\n
