Disco Trail Day 2012

Thanks to all the great volunteers for making the 2012 Disco Trail Day a huge success!!

Truckloads of trash were hauled away and miles of trail were made better on a gorgeous Spring day.

Close to 40 people came out to give their time.

After all that work everyone convened at the Trailhead for the BBQ.

A few of us did a post event ride to celebrate the trail improvements too.

Thanks to Salmon Valley Stewardship and the BLM for making this event possible and thanks again to all the great volunteers.

The Disco trails are in better shape than ever.
