What: We’re having the first workday in St. Charles County Parks for the Spring 2011 season at Matson Hill Park.
Where: From the Highway 40/94 interchange,
• Take Highway 94 South for 7.4 miles to F (turn right on F).
• Stay on F for 3 miles, then turn left on Stub Road. Follow Stub Road for ~.5 miles to gate, and follow directions from there. Or,
• Click this for a Google map link. Clicking the green bike will give you the “get directions” link. (For some reason, the last instruction just has you turning left off of F, without naming the road. That's Stub Road.)
What to bring: Gloves, Sturdy shoes, eye protection, and something to drink on the trail. Please read through pilznr’s “What to expect at a workday” post, available via this link; http://gorctrails.com/board/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3711. It will also give you some hints on how to prepare for a workday.
Why: To continue the new trail expansion on the Hayes Property. We’ll continue the trail that will eventually lead to the back portion of the park. This is Phase Two of a multi phase project, eventually utilizing 400+ acres of new Park property.
The pic shows the next phase to be completed, in green, the eight switchback climb, in orange, and the proposed leg that goes up to Duke Road, in red. This will add ~ 3 miles of trail to the 4.9 that's currently out there, but doesn't include the western portion of the property.
Please RSVP via ONE of the following (to make sure we bring enough food):
- The St. Charles County Park's (SCCP) office [636-949-7535],
- through the WebTrac registration system on the parks website, http://parks.sccmo.org/parks/
- or on this thread.
GORC & St. Charles County Parks will provide: Trail building tools, instructions on trail building, safety guidelines, and lunch.
NOTICE: In case of bad weather, please call the St. Charles County Parks (SCCP's) Trail Hotline (636-949-7475, option #2). SCCP's will only leave a message about the workday if it's cancelled.
