If anyone is looking to give back, the Back Country Horseman are having a backpacking day where they haul gravel with mules to put on the trails in the Lusk Creek Area. Helpers are needed to fill buckets with gravel that can be dumped into the mule backpacks when they return for a load. They are meeting at 9:00 am on Saturday November 6th along Stone Bottoms Road near these coordinates 37.54351372534183, -88.55918983912102. You can google search these coordinates for the exact location. Bring your own water, snacks, gloves and appropriate work clothes.

I’ve done this several times and it is always enjoyable and rewarding to give back to the forest we all love.
