Crittenden Creek Trestle workdays - work on the trail all day Saturday and

plant, and near Coatesville.  Extra limb loppers, pruning saws, or even
another weed eater or chain saw could come in handy. In Amo, a pickup truck
to haul wood chips and tools to remove chain link fencing from wooden posts
could also be useful.  If you want to bring a mountain or hybrid bike, we'll
also do a test ride on the trail in advance of hopefully opening the trail
for rustic cycling the following weekend. Contact Greg Midgley HYPERLINK
