Valley Mountain Bikers Adopt-a-Highway Cleanup!

12/23/2012

 
Valley Mountain Biker club members who maintain the Nockamixon Mountain Bike trail system were out today to clean a two-mile stretch of Mountain View Drive (Route 563) from Route 412 towards Route 313 including a significant section bordering Nockamixon State Park in the vicinity of the Haycock Boat Launch and Tohickon Access.   PennDOT has posted signage recognizing the club for its efforts.

Walking four miles total (two in each direction) produced enough trash bags to fill a pickup truck  within three hours restoring this scenic stretch of road to pristine condition before winter sets in. 

Upper EWR drainage work commences

12/16/2012

 
Work has commenced on addressing major drainage issues on the northern and central portions of Upper EWR original to the trail when it opened.  A significant muddy spot on a turn near the northern end closest to Haycock Run was permanently resolved today.  Work will continue towards the Jaywalk end of Upper EWR just south of the storm-damaged pines in the weeks to follow, especially in places where armoring rock was placed last sumer for future use.

Last major Sandy-releated damage cleared

12/2/2012

 
The Nox trail crew removed the last major storm damage from the trail system today along the Upper Hammer loop.  Various leaning trees and remaining protruding branches were cut away to further improve visibility and safety in a stretch where the corridor had only initially been reopened. Furthermore, a large amount of debris including torn-up roots were removed in the vicinity of the boardwalks which represented perhaps the hardest-hit area of all.
