Happy Winter Solstice!

Thank you to those of you who provided comment on the Sheepskin Trail.  The commissioners voted 2- for and 1 against to move forward with the construction of 1.5 miles along Nilan Road (near Point Marion, PA).  They have an awarded federal grant to build trail but the meeting was contentious with the proposed tax increase in Fayette County.  There were some who attended and spoke supporting the construction of the Sheepskin Trail but also those against it- connecting it to the proposed tax increase.  

Today! Two totem directional amenity signs were installed by Mountain Valley Resources at Star City.  These promote amenities nearby and give the distances to each end of the rail-trail and into Marion County WV and Fayette County PA.  We hope to keep adding these as we work on more trailheads.  I will post about them tomorrow to our FB if you want to share or see more photos.   Here is one photo-  https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/9l8teacv68rppd818bjoe/IMG_4711.JPG?rlkey=0zs2o6w0wyr2uhtd1fp83sl3i&dl=0

Thank you all for being friends and partners in trail work. Warm wishes for the Holidays, Ella
