BLUE HILLS TRAIL-BUILDING!

10:00PM EST BLUE HILLS TRAILWORK IS STILL PLANNED TO GO FORWARD TOMORROW MORNING. SHOWERS WILL NOT STOP OUR PLANS, DRESS ACCORDINGLY. STEADY RAIN CANCELS CHECK HERE FOR UPDATES 1st THING TOMORROW MORNING BIG news at Blue Hills--the Buck Hill Summit Reroute has been officially permitted and we will break ground on the trail Saturday, April 20. If you're not familiar with Buck Hill, it's probably the best summit, offering 360 degree views. Several trails traverse the hill, but the only legal MTB route up has been this straight-up-the-fall-line washed-out gutter that's at most, 300 yards long. The reroute will follow the contours of the hill and total almost a mile! The new sustainable trail is designed for all users. This reroute is unprecedented in the history of Blue Hills Mountain Biking, and could very well influence the future of mountain biking within DCR parks, and beyond. Also, this will mark a renewed partnership with Friends of Blue Hills, who are an integral part of this project. So, become a part of history and come out and help build this trail! Phase One, Saturday April 20th, 8:30 am, at the big Houghton's Pond parking lot on Hillside St, Milton. This coincides with the Annual DCR Park Serve Day, which draws hundreds of volunteers across the state to help their local parks. Phase Two, Sunday,April 28th, same meeting place and time. Both days we will work 'til about noon. Please dress work-and-weather appropriate, considering also that it is tick season again, and bring your favorite trail work tool i.e. loppers, hand saw, rake...if you don't have any tools, thats ok, we will loan you one for the morning. More details to follow, but don't hesitate to ask--Steve Cobble 781-254-8796
