greenbrier state park trail maintenance






Schaeffer Farms trail work

Jeff and Mike helping to construct some new trails around Schaeffer Farms in Germantown, MD


Hiking in to the new whoop-de-doo section of trails
Laying down pavers to prevent erosion
Testing the lines
We worked with Dave McGill on construction
Adding a new section to Schaeffer Farms' Red trail
We found a downed pilot
Looks like he ejected straight out of the canopy of the remote controlled plane
A little fun riding some underpasses after a day of digging

A well deserved ride on Seneca Ridge

Taking a picture of a picture

We saw a few of these Hooded Merganser ducks at Clopper Lake - first time seeing them  - very cool looking heads
