Near the top of Heart Attack Hill concrete was installed years ago to prevent excessive erosion and keep the trail open. Over the last couple of years the area at the bottom of the concrete has washed away creating a significant ledge. People were starting to go around the ledge so it needed to be corrected. Last weekend my club, The Mountaineers, per request of the Forest Service filled in the ledge with rocks and concrete. It took two days as the amount of concrete needed was grossly underestimated. We ended up using 3,350 lbs of concrete, 80 gallons of water, 60 feet of rebar, 30 square feet of wire mesh, and lots of rocks.

It actually went really fast. We met at the trailhead on Friday at 10 am and were done and eating lunch by 12 pm. Saturday we met at the trailhead at 9 am and were done by 11:00. Having a tank of water in the truck at the top of the hill on Saturday made mixing the concrete a lot faster.

Just FYI, the trail is still closed but should open soon. We also cleared all the down trees and check the conditions of the whole trail.

Excellent work. I bet those rangers are sore after all that. ;)

The young guy actually helped a lot, we tasked him with getting rocks to help fill the hole. It was his third day on the job. The lead ranger helped with some rocks too but her main task it to open gates. :rolleyes:

How'd folks get trucks above the work site? Drive the bypass or come in via the neighborhood roads to the high side of the work site?

We all took the bypass and parked at the top of Heart Attack Hill.

Just think... at that pace, only about a hundred years until the whole trail is paved (with a Starbucks at each end of the "trail").
