So thankful for all of the volunteers that make this trail system so awesome!

The volunteers are nearly complete with all of the work on the Orchard Hill Rd trailhead. We put some finishing touches on the trail segments on both sides of Orchard Hill Rd and have installed all of the signposts. In this photo, you can see Mike digging a post hole for one of the signs.
