Roughed in accessible trail

Got to stay at home every night this past week and catch up on the chores that I don't do very often. To help me from getting to bored or successful in the list of chores, I had this very small machine construction project with the Canyon Lake Ranger District here in Fort Collins.

All I did was rough in the 1700' of trail tread for a 40" wide accessible trail connecting Dowdy Lake to West Lake. It was up near Red Feather Lakes. Had good company from the CLRD engineering department on Thursday. Brandon and Steve went nuts on a couple of stumps that another "trail crew" and cut off at the ground.

It was great to bring curvilinear trail construction to an accessible trail.

Here a some photos of my "after". The CLRD is having 200 Boy Scouts import crusher fines and finish the rake down on National Public Lands Day.
