      This week definitely had its’ ups and downs.  The worst was that we had mechanical difficulties with the marooka.  Wednesday, late in the afternoon, with only two more loads needed to complete the area at “Dead Man’s Curve”, the right tread came off the machine.  But the fellows from the DPW came Thursday morning and put it back on.  Thursday afternoon, again with only a few more loads needed to complete the entire trail, the left tread came off.  So, Friday morning the guys from the town of Cherry Creek Highway Dept came.  They arrived about 9 am and worked on the machine til noon.  They worked on it, tweaked it, and gave it a complete going over.  They said that the treads have stretched out and we need to be gentle with our priceless “dump truck”.  So, the rest of the day we used the Gator and Ainsley’s Kubota for the more difficult runs.  We have the marooka until October 8 when the rental runs out.  But that should be okay because what we will be working on for the rest of the time is mostly on flat ground.  We are so fortunate to have such friends in the town who come and bail us out and save the day.  We are truly grateful!

    

     An impressive “up” is that we have completed the very long, formerly named, “Bike Trail”.  Because the trail follows the revine or gorge and the creek that runs through it, and, because it is truly beautiful, the name of the trail has been officially chirstend the “Gorge-ous Trail”.  The inmates joined in on the beautification of the hill and creek crossing by “Dead Man’s Curve”.  They built fences, lined the banks of the creek and hill with flag stone, and even built a planter.  Carol jumped at the chance to help and the day did not end without live greenery in said planter.  The area is very, very cool

 

     Finally, we are leaving the Housington and Arab Hill area.  On Monday, tomorrow, we will officially start work on “Bramble Bush, which is off the Ruttenburg trail head at Ruttenburg and Lewis.  This trail will connect the Lou Ebol Club House to the main Chautauqua Trail Loop.  Anyone who wants to join the work crew can meet us at the trail head or come to the club house between 9 and 9:30.  If we would have an overflow of volunteers, we could also go and work on the Boutwell Hill Trail Head trail.  All are welcome!!  Join the Fun and Feel the Pride!!
