Constructing Vibram Five Fingers at the Little Fort aid station – duct tape version!
I received an e-mail this morning from the Friends of Rock Creek’s Environment (FORCE), a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and restoring Rock Creek Park.  While browsing the FORCE website, I noticed they have several trail maintenance/trash cleanup events scheduled over the next few weeks.  For example, on Saturday April 16th @ 9:00 AM, they’ll be working in partnership with the PATC to clear vines from the trails around Dumbarton Oaks. Tools and gloves are provided.  I don’t recall any major trail races scheduled for that weekend, so if you’re interested in volunteering send me an e-mail at jschramka@yahoo.com or reply to this blog post.
