44 Riders, the Dalles Watershed Pipeline Project is kicking into high gear. The construction activity means that the south end of the old Surveyor’s Ridge Trail is now closed through mid-November, which effectivley means for the season, ’cause snow in the high-country is on its way.
If you’re headed up that way, please avoid the work zone.
October 16 – Bottle Prairie Work Day
Our final work party of the season! We’re headed to Bottle Prairie trail 455. It’s in need of brushing. If we get some significant rain between now and October 16, we’ll prob add some tread work in, too. But for now, we’ll plan on opening up sight lines and brushing overgrown sections.
As usual, we’ll have lunches for everyone thanks to NY City Subs in Hood River
