Our morning of work is done, and we accomplished a lot! We went to work repairing the Sourdough Trail on the edge of Bozeman. We fixed two sections of the trail, each about 200 yards long. We spent the morning spreading gravel to raise the level of the trail, then raking it smooth before our work leader, Gary, flattened it out.
Gary was impressed with our work, and repeatedly said so. So did the all of the joggers, walkers and bicyclists who used the trail as we worked.

This afternoon, after getting used to the thinner air here (we're at around 5000 feet, compared to Mankato's 680 feet), we're headed to a nearby reservoir in the mountains to go swimming and hiking.

Go GO Go GO you gravel movers! Looks like you are working hard. Hope you are having lots of fun too! Miss you all!
ReplyDeleteI got a chance to use the flattener and it is a lot harder than Gary makes it look.
