Hello Alice, Thank you for being a good steward to trail building! As part of the Wisconsin Ice Age Alliance board of directors, I know how important boots on the ground really are.
You don't mention where you are in this post, but in your last photo, do I detect Devils Lake State Park? Those red rocks are unusual, and generally only in two areas of the country. Also the lake in the background, plus what looks like a sign for Balanced Rock.
In any case, it's good people like you that keep our trail connections to communities, and to each other in well sorted condition!
Good eye! You are spot on with both the rocks and the icon on the trail marker. Thanks for all your hard work on the Board stewarding the Trail forward! Maybe I will run into you on the Trail one of these days—or at the conference next month!
Alas, I can't make it this year! The Annual meeting was moved out a week from previous years, and coincided with an annual vacation I take every year, to hike trails on the Island of Kauai. I'll run into you at some point, I am sure. I am in Southern Wis, at the southern most point of the trail in fact. If you are ever in Rock county section, give me a shout.
Kauai sounds like a great trip! And now that you mention Rock County, your name sounds familiar—we may have built boardwalk together at Storrs Lake or Clover Valley. Regardless, I will keep an eye out for you in the future!
Great discussion of what goes into trail work. When I'm hiking other trails, I'm always evaluating their work.
Thank you! It's hard to turn off the trail eyes even when hiking for fun!
