Trailmaster Report-Dick Smith dooer@roadrunner.com

The Pines and Senior boardwalks have both been replaced and widened. I want to thank everyone that helped out with the many hours of work.
April 30th I hauled sand to the trail just beyond the Senior boardwalk.
May 3rd The Natanis crew rode that trail and cut trees.
May 8th I picked up 5 telephone poles and delivered them to the Flagstaff Rd bridge site.
May 9th I hauled more sand to the Pines trail.
May 10th Neal Blaney and I picked up a culvert and installed two pieces on the East Kennebago Rd.
May 11th Neal and I signed the East Kennebago Rd and rode the Tim Pass Loop and cut downed trees.
May 13th Neal and I picked up a culvert and installed it on the Black Mtn Rd.
May 14, 16 and 17 I worked on dressing up the Tim Pass Loop of the trail between Sawyer Brook Rd and Black Mtn Rd.
May 18th I took the excavator to the power line behind Stratton and started cleaning it up.
This past week members have been riding the trails, checking them and cutting downed trees. Again, many thanks for the help.
By the way, we have a beautiful new trail. It is the East Kennebago Rd. It is very scenic and adds 6 1/2 miles of good riding. A big
“THANK YOU” to Wagner Forest Management. I am waiting to hear from Plum Creek about a part of a new trail that we have already been given permission from AFM for their part of it.
