Washout on trail 276
Last years rains (or should we say downpours) have really wreaked havoc on our trail system. While trail 275 from Miles Pond to Leonard Hill is fine, (the one with the new bridge) just about everything else is dealing with various stages of wash outs. One of the worst is is trail 276, from the Oregon Rd. to Leonard Hill Rd.. which washed out a big culvert. You can still get around by fording the river, but wait for the stream to go down.
Wash outs on class 4 roads are just about everywhere, and even the class three roads still have rough spots!
This season we're focusing on the Thomas Road in Lunenberg and the Bombard Rd. in Concord. We can use your help! Contact Lincoln or Chad for work dates.
Beware! If you know of rough spots, missing culverts, and wash outs please post on the forum. And if you can help us out, by all means volunteer! We can always use the help, now more than ever!
