AM went back to school. I yapped with ward and cary and bruin for most of the morning. I decided to buckle down and knock out a little work for a few hours though.
I ran over to talk to Logan about the track website, etc. He mentioned painter's, and bruin and I had talked about the course earlier in the day, so I decided for my run this afternoon to check out the course.
PM did and out and back from home to the east side of river road on the virgin river trail. Just under the river road bridge is a foot of silt on the trail. I thought that in no big deal, and they can move that with a skid steer in a half an hour. Imagine the big shock when I got down to the turn around the sand stone ledge about a mile east of the bridge. The whole trail is gone! It just drops off for about 15 feet, and the river looks so different.
I happened to look up on the sandstone ledge and there were 4 guys standing up there taking pics. I asked them if they thought the trail would ever be back in. They told me they wre with the city, and they were looking at all the options of how they could fix it. I think the only way is to run the trail above the sandstone ledge and tie it back in where the two trails come together north of the tree farm. It is amazing how much the river has moved west in that spot. Good luck on the Painter's course. I think the best bet is to go around the hill from foremaster to river road on the road, and then hook into the trail. That is unless they go back to start and finish around the new dixie center. Not for me to decide or stress about. |
