FOCF Work Party LLMT Style

4/6/2015

1 Comment

 
We made it out the monthly Friends of Capitol Forest Work Party to help get some of the trails ready for the summer. It's amazing how much damage can get done to the trails in just one season, while most of the work party headed off to GL6 a few of us snuck over to Little Larch Mountain Trail to clean up some drainage issues and rebuild a few berms. Trying to pull water off of a trail with out creating unnecessary off chamber or inside turn puddles is a task, we wound up attacking it by bringing up the trail bed by almost a foot, and creating a grade reversal on the inside of the corner. To keep the water from puddling up inside the turn we buried a water bar full of fist sized granite rocks under about 6" of top soil. As the water is drained through the inside of the corner it will flow beneath the trail bed through the gravel and be released down slope into the forest and off the trail. 
We followed up the big project with some trail tuning up top before heading to C4000 for a homemade lunch courtesy of the one and only Dave Snyder, and of course the obligatory Green Line 6 shuttle to appreciate the rest of the work done. 
If you want to join in, the work partys start at the "Y" on the corner of Waddel Creek Rd and Sherman Valley Road at 9am on the first Saturday of the month. More information can be found at here.
