Answer.
We found out the hard
way about trail clean ups. During our 2001 clean up, we built the
trail first and then scheduled a clean up after it was finished. What
happen was during our construction program the under construction trail led to
a HUGH increase in desert dumping. We took four 28 yard
dumpsters of new garbage out of the area.
We hope we will have less garbage pick up if
we clean the area before the trail goes through. Then block the desert dumpsters
with trail gates and trail fences.

Answer.
The trail in this area should be finished by the end of next summer (2003).
The three segments of the trail we are cleaning today are currently in design by
Boels Engineering. We hope to have the design finished by the 1st quarter
of 2003, with the trail finished by the end of summer.

Answer.
Equestrian Park is
being built in three phases. First phase has been built. You
will find a small parking lot, some planted grass and trees. Future phases
include a bathroom, drinking water, horse loading/off loading trailer ramps,
exercise rings (the figure 8 looking graded area), shade structures and an extension to our trail
- the River Mountains Loop Trail. The River Mountains Loop Trail has added
one of our seven trail kiosks to Equestrian Park. Check it out.

All you have to do
is come prepared for a morning in the sun, maybe some work or gardening
gloves, a water bottle and clothing that will protect you from desert bushes.
We hope to see you there!
