 The River Springs chapter’s  monthly ride/work day

LOCATION:  Victory Horse Trail section of the Ozark Trail (OT).  We will be working on the east side of the horse loop which has sustained heavy damage due to tornados and wind.  Expect to be clearing brush, affixing trail signs and other trail maintenance. 

 TIME: Meet at the Victory Horse Trail trail head at 9:00 a.m.  Candace and Paula will be meeting up with the OT folks at 8:30 and will head back to the Victory Trail head around 9 or so. We will have a brief meeting before heading out to work on the trail. 

 DIRECTIONS:  From Poplar Bluff, travel north on Highway 67.  Take Highway 60 west about 2 miles to County Road 410 (just past CR 409.  Look for the Bluff Overhead Door sign on your right).  Turn right on CR 410.  Follow the gravel road 0.9 mile to a fork in the road.  Take the right fork.  The trail head/staging area is on your right. 

 From points west of Poplar Bluff, travel east on Highway 60 14 miles past Ellsinore to County Road 410 (look for Bluff Overhead Door sign on your left.  If you pass Scott Post Company on your right, you missed the turn).  Turn left across highway onto CR 410.  Follow the gravel road 0.9 mile to a fork in the road.  Take the right fork.  The trail head/staging area is on your right.

  OTHER INFORMATION:  Bring a sack lunch to eat on trail, water, gloves, small hammers for trailhead signs, hand pruners, loppers, hand saws, etc.  If you are a US Forest Service certified sawyer, please bring a chainsaw.  There are no amenities at the trail head other than parking.

 POTLUCK:  We plan on having a potluck back at the trail head after working, around 3 p.m.  Please bring a dish to share, lawn chairs, etc.
