Wow! It's been almost a week since I have posted.
We are to have a semi rainy week. Which I guess can sound sort of depressing.. but we need the rain.. and some rest might not be a bad idea for me.
I am feeling sort of yucky today.. my stomach is so so at the moment. I have been out and done some tool maintenance this morning. Most of last week was trail work. We have continued work in the new area of ledge "drops".. as well as doing side projects. We have done some maintenance on trails we have been riding all along. String trimming etc. We did some major alterations to the beginning of another nearby trail. It has a tapered exposed ledge.. far to the left it's just a down hill.. as you move to the right.. ledge becomes exposed.. and as you move left the drop increases to maybe 30" There was a small tree in the landing area.. as well as some big jagged rocks. That area has been "fixed". We also found that this ledge.. travels maybe 400-500 feet which also brings it out beside another dual tract trail. So we have been working on building a trail there. We have just a little more earth work to do on that.. then it is ready. Another nearby short connector trail hasn't been used in a few years.. so we re-claimed that.. and made another connector to connect the new ledge trail to this. This gives us a lot of little interconnected trail in that area.
Dave and Angela's daughter ended up having e coli It took a little while for them to know that [they have to wait for cultures to grow etc.] Once they did she improve fairly quickly.
Angela does need surgery.. and because the original injury was 5+ weeks ago they have to take tendon material from elsewhere.. to reconstruct. Which is more work.. and more healing than had they done this at the beginning..
They told her at this point there is no rush.. that she could choose when to have it done..
She has a cast on.. can't do much of anything.. and is in a bit of pain. I think she wants it done as soon as possible.
Dave is back from Ca. is going to try to get in to the Dr. today on his ankle.. While in Ca. the team doctors took a look. They did find something partically dislocated.. and adjusted that... and agree with a probable achilles tendon issue.. but there is still so much swelling they couldn't tell without an MRI.
