FORGE THE GORGE - Roadside Trail Day

[weber]

We had planned to block (at least temporarily) the wrong paths with an old climbing rope and a couple small "please... " signs. I'll try to get back there sometime this week.

Wha, wha! My thunder thighs hurt! It was worth it!

I wonder if a sign would do the trick. They would see it when they come up and remember it.

was wondering how the steps were bolted into the rock below roadside attraction? might do something of the same at global village soon.. any suggestions on how to do it and what to use?

[captain static]

Global is on USFS land so any proposed trail work would need to be reviewed by them. This is one of the only areas not affected by LAC so doing some trail work there is not out of the question.

sooo he should "do... and use..." permission?

Digging into the archives, found this Roadside Trail Day that a few of us put together in '05.

Another successful trail day for the Red River Gorge!

The weather was just perfect as the 22 eager volunteers helped spruce up the trail leading to Roadside Attraction with some heavy duty steps made out of bolted treated wood, rocks, etc. The beginning of the trail was also upgraded with some steps and water breaks. Most of the work was done in approximately 5 hours - afterwards, some of the volunteers enjoyed a couple of the classic climbs at Roadside Crag.

Thanks to all who came and supported this endeavor. Climbers that care rock!

Amazing how six years can age a person (meaning me). That was a fun day! I miss those times for sure!
