Observations: The morning start by lugging in equipment for continued work on our trail re-route, alot of great stuff was done today and the re-route will be complete in one more session and trail will will be back open.

Today we added a berm, brought up a couple of large trees and armored a rock face to make it rideable. TM was 3 hours today, hit some lunch and came back for some riding, while waiting around a family that was fishing got into a spat with a dog walker, who's dog was not leashed, jumped in the river and got tangled in the fishermans line. The lady fisherman ended up calling the police and 1/2 hour later as we started our ride the local dog warden pulled up, we passed the warden issuing a ticket to a dog walker who's dog was not leashed. Stamford ordinance requires all dogs to be leashed. So the warden was handing out $100 fines, second offense is $500... OUCH!
