HOW
IS THIS FOR A RAMP!!??…..Thanks to members of the Weare Winter Wanderers and the members of the
following neighboring clubs: We got a great amount of work completed this past Saturday, 8/28, not
to mention the equipment work completed the week prior. The progress on this trail has been nothing
short of amazing. A substantial amount
of machine time has been completed by Bill Boisvert, Bunk Boisvert, Randy
Lover, Bill Bolton, Doug Carr and others.
This work has included, but not been limited to the installation of
culvert, the reworking of the landscape necessary to build the trail and the
installation of seed and hay mulch around the bridge and other areas, which
may have been disturbed, to promote the necessary vegetation growth. “Gateway North” trail committee head Bill
Bolton has been instrumental with the offsite assembly of the structural
steel bridges, delivery of the bridges to the sites, and delivery of the
concrete blocks necessary to support the bridges. Other committee members Greg Seaver and
Mike Duhaime have also played substantial roles in the project, including the
delivery of the extent of the wood framing materials for the bridges. Committee member Although some may be working
from now through the holiday weekend in limited capacity, we will meet in our
usual spot at 7:00 a.m on Saturday, September 11th. From Route 77, just east of the bridge over
the canal, turn onto
NEXT
WORK PARTY SATURDAY, 9/11…..HELP NEEDED!!!! Re: New snowmobile trail through Drew Lake/Elm As most of you remember, the trail
through Elm Brook Park/Drew Lake/Stumpfield is currently closed to snowmobiling
and has been closed periodically through the past 2 or 3 seasons plus. Safety has been the primary reason for the
closure due to the dangers associated with the varied water levels and ice
conditions associated with them.
However, through discussions with the US Army Corps of Engineers,
Bureau of Trails and other organizations, the Weare Winter Wanders have been
granted the permission and assistance to construct a new “land” snowmobile
trail through the entire area. What
can you do to help?? Work will resume Saturday, 9-11-10
at 7 am, approximately a 4-5 hour shift.
We will plan to meet just east of the bridge over the canal on Route
77 (go down Fox Hollow and take first left).
For volunteers aged 8 to 80, your help can and will be utilized. Water
and snacks will be provided to volunteers on all work details. In addition, burgers and dogs will be
provided to those who work this upcoming Saturday morning at the end of the
work party (around noon). The majority of the work for the
first couple of work parties will be mainly cutting, therefore please plan to
bring gloves. If you choose to bring
your own chainsaw, please plan to use at your own risk. However, there will be chainsaws available
and bringing your own is not a necessity. We look forward to seeing you!! Bill Bolton, WWW member and
committee head 603-345-2949 bill.bolton@gsinet.net |
