Volunteer of the Year 2010

The Paulinskill Valley Trail Committee is pleased to announce the volunteer of the year 2010.  It is a couple who have been active members for many years.    They have arranged trail clean-ups and participated in trail clearings.  They have been involved in the installation of trail signs.  They have organized fund-raisers. such as the Spring Fling.  They have been facilitators for PVTC annual dinners.    They have helped to write grant applications.  They have submitted material for The Signal newsletter.  And last, but certainly not least, they have both held PVTC offices.  They are ardent supporters of our beloved trails. 

In case you haven’t already figured out who they are, there is one more clue.  They first met at a trail meeting and subsequently became married.   Yes, the couple is Howard and Susan Reed.   Congratulations!

May 29th ride on the Paulinskill Valley Rail-Trail and Elizabethtown Pipeline with 7 adults and one 9 year old.  

We rode from Halsey Corner WEST to Old Swartswood Rd. where we turned around (3 miles).  On the way back after passing over Plotts Road we dropped down to an old paper road than onto the pipeline.   Only one tall thin tree had fallen over the pipeline.  Lucky Felice carries a handsaw.  After using the saw, Dick and Deb sat on the tree while we walked all the horses over.   We have such GREAT TRAIL horses!   We stayed on the pipeline until we crossed over Stagecoach Road.   We left the pipeline using a marked trail on State property and walked up the road and back to Halsey Corner.   This was an easy 2 hour ride with only one road to cross.
