Attention Hikers and Climbers!  Here is an opportunity to help keep our local trails cleared and beautiful.  The PNTA volunteer group works on trails in Deception Pass State Park, Blanchard, Anderson, Swift Creek, and along the South Fork of the Nooksack.  Meet at 8:15 AM at the Cook Road Exit for a day of fun and work.  Bring your lunch, work gloves, and rain gear.  All tools will be provided.  For more info email Lynn.  Hope to see you there!

Little Mountain Trail Work - THANK YOU to all the wonderful volunteers who worked on Fred and Ginny's trail in October. We dug ditches, cleared brush, cut holly, spread gravel, and made lots of trail improvements. The trail looks GREAT! Special thanks to our SAC members Maggie, John, Marie, Ginny, Dave, Hal, and Lynn. Plus we had Jim Taylor and his trail experts from the Little Mountain Trail Builders group. They were awesome!  This year we were joined by Mount Vernon Trail Builders who brought lots of expertise and muscle power which they have been using to build the new mountain bike trail near the north overlook at the top of Little Mountain Park. The Park Department provided a truck full of tools. After working on the lower trail, we hiked the upper loop and looked at potential connecting trails.
 
This co-operation between the park and user groups is one of the benefits of the recent park plan update process and is very welcome. The MV Trail Builders calls itself "an affiliate of Friends Of Little Mountain", a yet to be created organization. Mount Vernon Parks Foundation has been suggested as the umbrella for this group. SAC would be a natural "affiliate". It seems like a good idea to have all interested parties involved in the planning and work on park trails.
