One More Thank You

At the risk of sounding a bit kumbaya-ish, I have one more group of wonderful volunteers that need to be recognized.

Thank you to Steve Wilson of Wood n Wave Bike Shop and all of the great volunteers that are working to clear the Canal Loop Trail in Land Between The Lakes. The Canal Loop is an 11 mile single track trail through the woods and I can only image the number of trees and the amount of debris that must be moved to clear the trail. Steve and the volunteers have invested countless man hours and have completed clearing the Barkley side of the trail. They started working on the Kentucky side yesterday. This trail is used by runners, bikers, and hikers and with enough help could be reopened soon.

If you would like to help, email Steve at Wood n Wave –info@woodnwave.com or call Wood n Wave during business hours at 270-362-2453. If you are interested in an update on the volunteer efforts, check http://www.woodnwave.com/

If you are interested in an update on Land Between The Lakes facilities reopening, check the website http://www.lbl.org/

The trail is vital to the Grand Rivers Spring Events Calendar as it is part of the course for the West Kentucky Runners Club Ultra Run and several bike races. We owe a huge dept to Steve and these volunteers as these trails and spring events draw thousands of visitors to Grand Rivers.
