IMBA Trail Restoration Techniques
Trail Care Crew members Chris and Jill provided hands on training at Alafia, We learned rock armoring and water damage mitigation techniques.
   

This is our work crew, less Chris, who was behind the camera.
This water crossing had several lines of traffic created by riders.
Large rocks were used to direct traffic onto the new rock bottom
This nasty drop is on Frank's Loop.
Rider and water erosion had made this nearly impassable.
Problem-1 getting these huge rocks to the construction site.
Teams formed lines to load, then unload the rock barge (bass boat)
These were the small rocks.
Boxes built out of PT 8x8s were designed to hold the rocks in place on the slope
The bottom box is filled with rocks, then sand. The next box is ready for rocks.
The finished product.
