OMV Trail Maintenance Day
OMV Trailhead, Quarry Road
From SNORC:
Remember 2PM for the next maintenance day. We have received a lot of comments back from you guys about stage 2. We agree and believe that stage 2 needs fine tuning. The flow could be better in parts, jumps in better locations and better drainage. We don't have the funding to pay someone to improve it but we hope to work on it bit by bit. We might tackle some of the stage 2 weak points during the next maintenance day. Please come along even it its just for an hour. We meet at 2PM at the trail head on Quarry Road.
