Trail: Boundary – E. Pine Creek
Miles: 10.5
Riders: Laurie – Rob – Bill – Linda – Brandy
Horses: Jack – Payette – Tucker – Misty – Moosely -? -?
Dogs: Poor Hank was not happy hanging out in the trailer.
Notes: I took a break from fence building and joined the SBBCH for a trail cleaning project on Boundary. This area was one of the first projects we did when I joined SBBCH years ago. At that time, we built up a boggy section of trail by pulling out the old boardwalk, hauling in gravel from the creek and creating a drain/culvert for the water to pass without making a huge bog. We were surprised to see it in great shape after all these years.
Much of the trail had already been cleared by another group (presumably a dirt bike group) – We did a little brush clearing and weed pulling. We did remove a few logs while diverting the trail around a dangerous section too close to a burned out log. The roots were burned away leaving treacherous holes…some of which you can’t see until your horse looses a leg in one.
Mother and daughter team: Linda and Brandy – joined us from the Heartland Chapter.
Great day with some old friends I haven’t hung out with in while. Hope to do it again before too long.
