A 70-person crew showed up at Coldwater Lake to open the 211 Trail to mountain bikers. It was an outstanding effort by all involved.

Special props to Paul Norris, Melanie Norris, Andy Jansky, and Andy Crump, who led the effort. Thanks also to crew chiefs Kelley Hinkle, Lee Lemmon, Randy Toney, Kevin Knorr, Dave LeMonds, Ryan Hicks, Ryan McMaster, Bob Horness, and Vaughn Martin.

The work party was organized under the banner of Friends of Coldwater, with Growlers Gulch Racing spearheading the effort and Northwest Trail Alliance providing big support. Members of Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance also showed up to lend a hand.

Went and rode Siouxon trail June 15th and did some maintenance and removed 5 or 6 log obstructions between the trailhead and the huffman peak trail crossing. 

However, there are 2 sections that really could use 2 or 3 people to move some really heavy debris, logs. 

Otherwise the trail was sweet and although we've had lots of rain (what else is new) there were minimal muddy sections.

56 Volunteers, 12 dogs and one dozen sugar coated donuts. A handful of folks drove from Bend & Portland to assist in “Operation Storm Recovery”. Two ‘Husbands’ worked hard for their MTB ‘Wives’ who couldn’t be here really impressed us. Something really special has been created and the momentum is now rolling forward. If the Mayor arrived it would have been a “red carpet” scenario!
