Rode monday night trails were in good shape. We done a reroute
around the spring that poped up in the middle of the trail just befour the switch back behind the dam who would have ever thought a spring would pop up in the middle of the trail :roll:
we also put a bridge in over the spring that poped up just befour
you get to the gully crossing so the only problom area we have now is the trail head where water is standing in the middle of the trail due to loggers not leaving a drainage hole in that area I am working with the park to take care of this problom.

What can I say other than their wet!!!!!! mabey if you bring a boat you can row the trails :lol: we have had a lot of rain in the past week so dont look for the trails to dry out overnight. the privit section which needs a reroute(we did not build this section it was their when we started.)because it sets in a low lyeing area is a swamp the rest of the tril pretty much dries up in a couple of days.

Well it has been 2 years since we started this task we are finally done
thanks first of all to my wife who stood by while I done alll this trail work
second of all to everybody who helped build the trails and a thanks to the people that could not help but gave us donations. To Fort Yargo and all
its employees A BIG THANK YOU to all you guys. To the community service workers thank you for going to work with us instead of picking up trash. It has been an Intresting two years, 10 miles of new trails all single
track tied to an existing 2 miles of double track. the trail is one big loop now that is 12 miles long with five paved road crossings.I hope all you guys and girls like the trails if you liked the rest of the trail your gonna love The last new section we built. this is it we were informed by dnr they did not want any more trails built because of the upkeep involved in
taking care of what we already have. I tend to agree with them I
personally dont care to build anymore trails I am ready to spend alot of
time with my wife and family and go riding my bike


thanks to everybody,

Steve Gordon (President of YABA)
