Loganberry Lane at Kasch Park — Friday, Dec. 6, 2024

As part of an ongoing community project at Kasch Park, this was my second time helping with WTA there. We had a big group (17-18) and tackled a big section of trail.

We got a late start as we were waiting for a participant who got caught in traffic. That gave us plenty of opportunity to stretch during introductions and I learned about a cool game I ordered for my family, Charty Party. Thanks for the prompt, Josh!

We walked ten feet from the parking lot and started building a brand new trail. HARD WORK! I think by 2:30 everyone was more than ready to call it a day. During the second half of lunch, I grabbed the opportunity to check out previous areas I'd helped in and was saddened to see one section of new fence disturbed from a downed tree from a pre-Thanksgiving windstorm, but delighted to see that the trails which have been decommissioned to help protect the wetlands have stayed decommissioned.

A satisfying day of digging up roots under cold but dry conditions (OMG those cottonwoods have mega roots!) and I look forward to another in January.
