Trip Report

Following on from last Wednesday's Hardesty trailhead work session, material to complete was indeed hauled to the site. A hurriedly-arranged Saturday "follow-up" trip was organized, and after a vehicle breakdown and FS wheelbarrow repair job, 5 cu. yds. of crushed rock was eventually hefted into place, hopefully to dry and consolidate. More intelligent placement of the bulk gravel would have been appreciated. Though this well-versed crew got on with the job with minimal muttering, careless administrative gaffes of this nature will surely damage the very ideals of Volunteerism... Long-distance gravel haulers were Mari Baldwin (with skis!) (?), Peter Cecil, Betty Legris, Fred Schepman, Helen Smith and leader John Cecil.

The May Bulletin is now online.

Stop by the Obsidians booth at the Mt. Pisgah Arboretum Wildflower Festival, Sunday, May 17, 10-5 pm..
