With all this wonderful weather, trail building progress has been outstanding! That being said, we really need rain as the ground is tinder dry very deep down. This is not typical for this time of year and forest fire danger is extremely high right now. Even if you do not see fire, if you see or smell smoke, please report it to the park (Ringwwod State Park (973)962-2240) or Forest fire service.
Thursday five volunteers finished up the next re-route on the Ringwood-Ramapo trail and are poised to start the next section. We will take a few week break on this trail and move to the Cannonball Trail for the next few Thursdays.
Today seven volunteers helped clear and bench cut several traversing turns on the Cannonball trail just north of the DPW site. The existing trail went straight down the fall line and had become nearly twenty feet wide. The new trail traverses the same hill. We plan to finnish this project on the next few Thursdays.
