Hi all,
The Back Country Horsemen work day has been changed to Monday December 4 at 8:30 AM CST at Mount Helen Trailhead due to rain coming on the 5th. Primarily we will be installing water bars on the trail leading down to the Groom’s Branch crossing. If we have a good crowd we will also trim the trail as well. So bring your clippers, sturdy shoes, gloves and a smile.

Please coordinate with our Trail committee leader, Bruce Russell if you can supply a side by side or ATV for transportation.

See you all then,

Rob Andrys
