Stakes!

It was a little nasty out there while I put tools together and found my old first aid kit.

It wasn’t raining or sleeting though, and the wind hadn’t turned off the lake yet, so at 10:00, seven of us got out on the west end of the Pence Loop and cut 25 ironwood saplings and peeled them down for trail markers.

There were no bugs. There was no wind, rain or sleet.

Take a look at the pics, while peeling knobby ironwood, there were plenty of smiles out there. It sure is much more fun peeling with this group than alone, with the sounds in my head.

Two hours - in two hours we cut and peeled 25% of the stakes we need to mark the whole Montreal Trails complex. I’m kind of impressed.

Next step, another couple of peeling parties and then a paint fest. It’ll be fun to get the stakes out there and have our first summer ‘21 project done.

Look for the next trail outing. Plan on joining us for the, well, fun. Z
