Evan McFarlan's Eagle Project

On Saturday July 13 we had Evan McFarlan's Eagle Project.
The goal of the project was to reorganize the trail so as to keep it in good condition. We basically removed the top soil, plants and roots that were growing on the trail and placed rocks and logs on the sides of the trail to make it more defined.

Overall I was really surprised by the amount of people who came to the project: over 20 scouts and adults!

Thank you to everyone who came and congratulations to  Evan for finishing his Eagle Scout project.

Richard Gartenberg's Eagle Project

On Saturday August 25th was the day of Richard Gartenberg's Eagle Project. I personally think this was quite an astounding idea because unlike most eagle projects, you could see the result at the end of the mission.

We were clearing the trail, and when we came there at first we all saw the same thing; a well trodden, unkempt trail. However as we started working the results were noticeable immediately. Every small thing we did added up in the end, and when the project was finished, I was quite satisfied. It’s not to say that I wasn't tired; I sure was, rather it is the fact that I could see the immediate effect on the trail. This was definitely not the same trail me and the others had seen that morning before the project.

Come and check it out at May Creek trail entrance West of SE 89th and Coal Creek, New Castle. The trail yet needs to be walked on :)
