Tucker County Trails

Eight Aldredge Academy students worked alongside counselors and TCT volunteers to refine and "dress-up" a new trail connector between Rock Shox Trail and the CVI Fishing Pier this past Saturday.  A grand total of 58.5 hours of trail work was performed to compliment the many hours already invested by CVI staff who had previously laid out and roughed in the single-track trail.This trail is the second trail to be constructed on CVI's property using sustainable trail building techniques.  All participants were feuled during the trail day by nut butters.   Both peanut and almond butters seem to work well for high energy trail maintenance.  Choice combinations included jelly as well as banana slices.with the afforementioned butter spread.  All volunteers were pleased with both the cusine and the first class trail that resulted.

Fourteen volunteers participated in the first annual National Trails Day event sponsored by Canaan Valley State Park.The volunteers contributed more than 40 hours of service including the construction of a short trail reroute and the draining of several problem spots. 

 Tuesday - May 16, 2006 Tucker County Trails had a great evening picking up garbage at 3 persistent eyesores along Camp 70 road outside of Davis.  The work was made possible by the donation of a trailer and trash bags by the WV DEP.  These sites have often been cause for visitors to reconsider any sort of recreational jaunt out beyond the Anita Barton bridge.  10 volunteers donated their evening to loading the WV DEP trailer and filling two-dozen garbage bags. Many thanks to all who participated - especially Chico for the Red Tail Ale, Sandy for representing with baby, and Roger for reminding us not to fill the trashbags up too far.  And, of course, thanks to Macky for being, well...................Macky.  All told, this pickup netted about 2 tons.  Great job!   

 TCT now has a web presence. It is truly a new age of TCT, because, in addition to the Web presence, we also have this blog presence, a list server, and the ability to add content that you, yes you, can post to the members. This is a great day, and a great day for the trails of Tucker County. If you have any questions about the site, adding content, or just want want to help TCT usher in the nineties, please do so either through the email address info@tuckercountytrails.org or through this blog.
