(11/29) Another weekend (beautiful sunshiny)spent signing and also were able to do some last bit of mowing that has been hard to get at. The trail leading into the park in town had some goldenrod head high and some hardhack that hasn't been mowed down for about 4-5 years. The beavers had gnawed into some trees and tops that we had to move and some stumps that were left needed to be leveled. A couple of us took the time Wed. eve before the rain (ok, we got a litte wet toward the end)to put in a short 12' bridge where the water goes down into the swamp. We went up and made sure any other mowing around back of the Holiday Inn Express was taken care of. Mostly because the landowner had also mentioned that the bridge across the creek by the Fun Park was starting to shift and thought we'd mow while we were there. When we got there we found that the beavers there had also been busy (oh geez-busy as a beaver) they had damed up the water starting under the leading edge of the bridge as well as 25 yards below and the water was just to the bottom edge of the bridge. So we tried to relieve this as much as possible and I'm sure we'll have to go back as the beaver lodge was just about 25 yards up stream of the bridge. This may need some work in another year. A couple of other crews worked on some signing on out through C7E (old S71F). It makes it a bit tough to sign as we need this time of year with deer season in full swing 'cause its tough to get back in woods because of the hunters, but we'll get what we can and try to finish as weather permits. Trails should be opening in another 4 weeks (sure didn't seem like winter today) THINK SNOW!
