Marking the trail for the Mud Run!

The Mud Run is coming up fast, so today the Tidal Treasure Crew headed out to Stanley in three trucks to mark the trail. May 19th is the 30 mile LD, and on the 20th it is the 14 mile IDR. We all worked together to get the job done with lots of pink and yellow ribbon-and lots of laughs too!

Pam and Lynn and I walked a couple of miles to mark a section of the trail, and then rode in the truck to get the rest of our job done. Here Lynn is reaching over a ditch filled with water, when Pam reached out to hold her by her back pockets to offer her that extra bit of support. We are all about supporting each other as needed! :)

Gary and Todd rode together and marked the section they were given to do.

Troy, Tammy, Carillee, Kathleen and Marie rode in the third truck marking their section of the trail. We didn't really see them much-so I have no pics of their group at work.

There were some muddy spots and puddles that I must admit were fun to drive through. It was an overcast day, with showers off and on, but we worked as a team, and got the trail all marked and ready for next weekend!

  1. Marie and Kathleen laughed the whole time while they were "working", especially when going through those big puddles! Checking out the trail was exciting as well, that ravine is going to be a really fun challenge! Going to be a great ride!!
