When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
We're getting closer! Can't wait to formerly open VTT and its new parking lot and trailhead on West Pine! Soon there will be a 3rd trailhead to the Syringa network, adding to the existing access points at Greta's Segway and Pine Street Woods!
Back at it today, this time in VTT, with @jim_mellen behind the controls of the POP mini-ex, scratching in the last 50 yards of trail to connect Rotarian to the soon to be opened VTT parking lot!
Tonight was one of those magical evenings of trail work when the crew seems to be working as a single entity. In 1.5 hours our 18 volunteers hand built over a hundred yards of new trail in the Lower Basin, including a beautiful elevated turn.![]()

This half mile stretch of the new trail is being hand built through a steep, rocky hillside, gaining about 150 feet to tie the upper 3/4 mile and lower 1.5 mile machine built sections of the trail together.![]()

While Saturday's work party is currently postponed till the 25th, we decided tonight that if we wake up Saturday and it's simply a damp, drizzly day and not major rain event, we'll call a shotgun trail work party, meeting at 11 am at sb 2 to continue work on this section. Stay tuned to Instagram, Facebook, and your email inbox for notification if we decide to go.
Dirt work with hand tools on the new Lower Basin trail tonight! 5 pm at the switchback 2 trailhead!![]()

When your cable is out, you call the cable guy. When your pipes are clogged, you call the plumber, and when your drive needs plowed, you call the plow guy. Who do you call when your trails are blocked? The trail guys, Pend Oreille Pedalers!![]()

I was dismayed to hear from a hiker I passed just beyond this tree on Owl trail in Pine Street Woods during my morning ride that it had been down for at least a week! Why did no one notify us? Please, trail users, know that we are here for you. You don't have to suffer downed trees or degraded tread alone! Never be ashamed or afraid to call, DM, tag, or message us when with all your trail needs!![]()

We're all in this together. A tree across a trail harms not just you, it affects us all. Call the trail guys with all your trail needs! Satisfaction guaranteed!
