Hello again to each of you--
Weather allowing, we'll work on the same Saturdays as scheduled earlier--December 6 and Dec. 20. But in November we made such good progress, clearing the trail route eastward about 1-1/2 miles from the South Maumee Road, that we need to have a shorter way to walk in from the road to where we need to continue clearing the trail route.
Fortunately two landowners, Darryl Treat and Patty Guthrie, have given us permission to walk across their property, which greatly shortens the distance, and the time, for us to reach our work area. We'll now meet on the S. Maumee Road, either at the Treat driveway (Foggy Bottom Road, 1/4 mile beyond end of pavement) or at the Guthrie gate (red gate on right, 1/2 mile beyond pavement).
We'll need to park along the main road, but not block either the driveway or the gate. We'll also need to climb over a gate or slide under the bottom barbwire of the fence nearby.
Wear work clothes and hiking footwear and have a daypack with lunch and drinking water. The Park Service furnishes hand tools. But if you have a chainsaw and know how to use it safely, please bring it. There are fallen trees to cut.
We'll meet at the driveway or at the gate by 9:30 a.m. Hope you can be with us. The new trail has both scenery and history to enjoy.

This weekend is the first of two. I have a conflicting scout activity but Rodger Keesee will be there.

From State Hwy 27, turn on the South Maumee road.
When the pavement ends, continue 1/4 to the Treat driveway or 1/2 mile from the pavement to the Guthrie gate.
Be there by 9:30 a.m
