Summer Nights by Amanda McQuistian

These past couples of days were long and exhausting. Our mornings started at 4:30am and by 6:30am we were digging new tread. We started on a couple of rock walls this week and we look forward to seeing the end result. With there being no rain these few days the heat became physically draining and pushed us to our limit. On this hitch we have gained 274ft of finished tread and have 190ft of new tread.

We are all here for a purpose
We are here to serve
We are conservationist
And our goal is to preserve

We are strong workers
We work far and in-between
With rock walls and 24inch tread
We have become a trail team

There is so much to learn
New places to discover
What we might find
And soon will uncover

We grow stronger and wiser
As days go by
Time will seem short
And soon we’ll be saying goodbyes

But for now we have time
So we will do our best
For our work skills
Will be put to the test

This land has more to offer
Than the average person can see
Take a short walk with us
And soon you will see

We are conservationist
And it’s what we do
The trails we build
Are made especially for YOU!
