Highland, New York: Making Connections

We couldn’t have asked for a better Saturday; it was bright and sunny with a lot of enthusiastic volunteers. The end result was some sweeeeeeeeeeeet new singletrack. The building wasn’t easy (very steep sideslopes) and the soil didn’t cut like butter (it was more like rubble) but we didn’t hear one single complaint. I think everyone was just trying to contain their excitement at the notion that Illinois Mountain is soon going to be one heck of a trail system.
