Exciting News from our Friends at the White Pine Trail
Update 9/20/07
We are very happy to report that the paving of the trail to Sand Lake is done! Dean Wall of Dean’s Excavating reported that his paving crew finished the final layer of asphalt on September 19th. His crews are completing the trail shoulder restoration which involves grading the shoulders so they slope away from the trail then raking them out and applying hydro-seed to prevent erosion. During the upcoming weeks they will be replacing signs and doing the final steps needed to wrap up the project.
The Friends of the White Pine Trail would like to recognize the extraordinary work that Dean and his company did on the trail. The project was completed ahead of schedule and the final product is something we can all be proud of. Dean noted that one of the unexpected benefits of the trail paving project was all the excitement and enthusiasm that he received from trail users he happened to talk to. If you have not yet ridden the trail north of Russell Road I would encourage you to do so soon. There has been a steady increase in trail usage since the paving began as a whole new group of trail enthusiasts use the section that was only gravel before.
