Finally got our fountain refilled. We went to empty and clean it a few days after we got here and it needed a new coat of paint. We had to order pool paint. It took a few days to get here, and then it started raining. Two weeks later, it is running again. The wildlife will appreciate having a...

We ended up getting close to 2" of rain with the addition of the last system. ... not bad. Our trail work day was awesome with perfect soil conditions. There were 24 volunteers and we did 3 re-routs combined. Art and I did rock work. It was a very productive day, and was good to meet a bunch of...

Glad you had good weather. The northern part of Az has been getting a bit of rain.

Our drive across country was uneventful, which is the way we like it these days. Our house clean up always has some interesting surprises. I have not seen a scorpion yet, but we had a good size tarantula carcass in our outside garbage can. Things are slowly getting cleaned up, repaired and...

If it is the section on Red by the stream, Some armoring in spots might help, but the stream can not be blocked with rock. There mist be openings to allow water through or over. If trail is not moved, you are fine to repair.

Technically, state line trail gets you to NY boarder. If you cross the street at the power line, there is a social trail that cuts to Long Meadow Rd. From there you will need to ride on Eagle Valley Rd to South Gate Rd to the Sterling trail head across from Buttonwood Rd. It is apron 1.5 miles...

It has been awhile since I have posted words. Art and I both have had some health issues, and as of yesterday, things are turning for the better. Art has finally been able to get back on a bike after another round of sciatica. We are done with trail building for the season in both Sterling and...

lol, I thought he looking like one of those elf statues.

Congratulations!

Rock above pulled out, and placed in hole below. All in a half days work with GSD crew at Sterling. Easy day for me as the guys did all the heavy work. About all pixy can do in 3 hours with a sledge. They only have an 8 lb long handle ( I prefer 6 lb ). I also used my bring along 2 lb short...

I did not do trail work twice this week because I was still sore Thursday from Tuesday. Thursday it rained, pushing work to Friday, but I did a ride Friday instead of work. My upper body has been struggling to recover, so trying not to over do it again. The last few days I have been trying to...

My Berd's picking flowers in the woods. Tomatoe picking soon.

Here are some pictures from work at Sterling last week. I still can not believe how nice the weather has been for working and riding. It looks like we will continue our work at Sterling this fall and most likely not get back to Ringwood before we end our work season. Art will be having a minor...

Looks like jungle.

As for trail work: I have been working at Sterling on the new trail ( Red Back ) on the west side of the park. Where the new trail leaves Laurel Meadow trail, it stays on existing double track for a little bit. The first re-route build section is being done by NYNJTC americorp workers. The rest...

We have an old bike hanging on our back fence. A dove made a nest on the seat and this is the second brood this summer. Mom has not been seen in a few days, but the two chicks jumped out last night and were seen sitting on the ground under the hosta leaves this morning. One flew into the bedroom...

I had the opportunity to do a ride up at Elm Ridge near Windham. It was fun, but most of the descending was near the end of the ride and I suffered some sort of upper body fatigue which was strange. I ended up having to slow way down on the descent, which was a bummer as it is so much fun to let...
