Has anyone been out there the last few days. I noticed it's been little more than a week since the last thread. I'd be quite sure there has to be at least 3 trees down by now. There was a slight breeze blowing the last few days.

I rode monday. It's 99% open but we need to spray it again like we did last year. It is growing up.

Just need enough for 60 gallon's they have diff ratio's in diff bottles of round up. That will give us enough for 2 rounds of spraying. One now and one later this summer. I can (MAYBE) do this next Week sometime but I need to have at least one helper. If not then the wk after. Don't forget the tick repellent worst yr I've ever seen for ticks and the temps have not made it to 90 F yet. Also bring a good breathing mask. Dave and I risked our health last yr, not going to chance it anymore.
I'll have spare parts this time.. ;D

I was able to get in touch with my friend that has the chem card. He is picking me some up next wk.
I'm looking at 2 1/2 gal's for myself. That should last me 3 yr's so if you guys want to chip in a small donation for a gallon of mine for the trail that should do us until late next yr. I'm sure he can get me more later.
Not sure what the cost of the 2 1/2 gal's will be, but thinking somewhere around $100-$150. bucks. Still much cheaper than Rd-up. Just let me know. We are leaving for the lake next Sunday and I'll be gone for 2 wk's.
Does the club have any money that can be used for trail maintenance or do you guys want us all to take care of this?

Hey everyone! It has been ages since I have been over to Grapevine for a ride, but today I went out there for a very surprising experience! The trail wasn't even close to what I remember! The "A" side seemed a little different, but the "B" side had obviously gone through a major overhaul which I loved! A few sections were marked with green paint and rolled alongside the train tracks which was awesome!
Despite being a little muddy, covered in leaves, and brutally attacked by a beaver it was great! It is great to see that trail being developed more!
Thanks guys!
