First multi-volunteer project

Six of 'em, and we made the place look purdy.

All in all, it was a very rewarding project. I got about two tons of crusher fines (a.k.a. "Pink Breeze") at Pioneer Sand and Gravel. Then we pulled weeds, leveled out the trail, and topped it with a nice layer of fines.

This makes enough of an improvement in visitor's first impressions of the park that it's probably worth $50 a month in the summer to go get Pink Breeze and keep refreshing the trails. I think a tidy, well maintained entrance says pretty succinctly "We mean business."
