January 16 Horse Trail Clean Up Day at Kings Mountain State Park Hi Friends! We will meet at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, January 16 at the Apple Road parking area. Be ready to either ride or walk to the trails by 9:00 a.m. Watch for changes in the date or time in case the weather forecast isn’t the best. I will be bringing chili to warm everyone up after the clean up efforts are done for the day. (also bringing my portable camp trash can to facilitate clean up of the buffet J ) I’m sure we’ll have volunteers bringing tea, cornbread, a salad (pasta or potato??), brownies or anything else that they especially like to make/bring/buy. If you’ve never joined us on our “Horse Trail Clean Up Day” you will have a lot of fun! We clip back briars, cut up trees that have fallen across the trails and roll the pieces away, make water breaks, etc. We have made lots of friendships out there in the woods! There are two groups that work on the trails: those of us on horseback can cover a lot of ground, and those of us on foot can cover a lot of detail work where a horse might hinder instead of help. Whether you have a horse you can bring, or prefer to be on foot, we have a place for you on the volunteer crew. We do all of our work under the direction of and with full permission of the Park Manager. You can contact me if you have any questions: Ruth Doyle Cell 803-628-8886 (please leave a message) Farm 803-925-9560 (please leave a message) RuthDoyleCPA@aol.com |
