SIUE Workday- Sat. January 15th 9am-1pm

When: Saturday, Jan. 15th, 2011 from 9:00~1:00.

What: Doing some minor reroutes to avoid some "wet" and "badly eroded" pieces of trail.

Where: Take hwy 255 North past Interstate 270, to New Poag Road. Turn Right or East at the end of the exit ramp. Stay on New Poag Road until the first intersection with a 4 way stop sign. This will be University Drive. Turn Right onto University Drive. The road will immediately bend to the left, at the end of the bend on your right is a gravel road, turn onto the gravel road. Follow the rock road past the hedgerow on the left, the road will make a 90 Degree turn to the right and then back to the left, then it will dead end. The Northernmost Trailhead is located at the 90 degree corner of the woods near that dead end.

What to bring: Gloves, Sturdy shoes, eye protection, and something to drink on the trail. It’s also a good idea to read through pilznr’s “What to expect at a workday” post, available via this link; http://gorctrails.com/board/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3711

Why: To keep this gem of a trail system usable for years to come.

GORC will provide: Trail building tools, instructions on trail building and safety guidelines.
