April 2004:

*4/5-4/8:  We finished the connection of the Mountain Creek Connector trail to the Sulphur Springs Trail.  Cutting the last 750 feet was a pretty easy cut, through a very pretty section of woods.  We didn't have any problems with the dead pine trees that we were foreseeing, which was cool.

*4/19-4/21:  We finished up a couple of problem areas on the Mountain Creek Connector.  We built a dry, rock creek crossing over the one creek on the trail, it came out really nice.  We also finished cutting a section through the water easement that adds a great feature to the trail.  We were happy to see that the trail is getting a lot of use.  We masked the trail and finished up everything to get ready for Friends Day. 

*4/26-4/29:  Examined the Sulphur Springs trail and tried to develop a solution for the soggy section between the trailhead and Mountain Lake.  Estimated cost of building a causeway for this area, and tried to think of some different possible solutions.  We then started the preparation for the Road-to-Trail Conversion of the Fire Tower Road Trail.  We laid out where the grade dips needed to be cut, and began laying the pin flag line to make sure the trail has a good flow.
