Moving Kiosk & Expanding Parking Lot

At 0700 this morning it was still dark, the fingernail moon was nestling against Venus, now a morning star. The pickups arrived in Earl Mole's pasture with headlights stabbing through the darkness. Bernie Owens came with his trailered Bob Cat, and Earl's mare wanted to climb into Randall Supthin's truck. Bernie's rig led the way up to the parking lot, and we closed off the road behind us so we'd have room to work in the parking lot.

We had two tasks. First was to expand the parking lot south to the posts and cable, which would double the parking area. Bernie worked this over while the rest of us looked to the kiosk.

The kiosk had been moved from its original location by cutting the supports at ground level, because of the concrete anchors. We had to splint a new 6 X 6 to each leg, then dig three foot holes for new concrete foundation. Here it is, set up at the new trail head!

Thanks to all the volunteers who participated in this work today!
