Hunting season notice...

From now thru January 31st, 2010, deer hunting is in season. The Sylaward trail is adjacent to the Hollins Wildlife management area. Hunts with guns occur on Today November 21st, December 4th thru 5th, January 2nd thru 8th, and January 29th and 30th. This could increase the number of hunters present in the woods near the trail. Wearing hunter orange or hi-vis yellow would be a good idea.

Working on the trail...

Johnny put in 5 hours on the Bill's Creek Loop today. He reports it is clear now. Thanks Johnny.
