Is Blair Witch Trail Open?
Blair Witch Trail, Open or Closed?
Poor Farm park is in the process of loosing some trails due to the addition of some new soccer fields, so people are tempted more than ever to search for every last trail to hit within the Poor Farm Park territory which is raising the question, "Is the Blair Witch Trail Open to the public?"
The long and short answer is no! All the property that is on the other side of the creek on the lower parts of Poor Farm is private property and should be avoided. There used to be trespassing signs up, but someone has torn them down as of recently.

POSSIBLE LOGGING NEAR POWHITE PARK
Hey All-
I good friend to CCVA an avid outdoors person today notice what might be a real issue to the state Powhite Park.
The long and short of it is that there may be the possibility of logging to property adjacent to Powhite Park. This may have a devastating effect on park itself and we'd like to ask local residents to please take the time to email the City of Richmond to voice concern.
Here is the link to Kathy Graziano's office. Please email or call if you have any concerns. Obviously, the bigger the response, hopefully the more attention it'll get==> kathygraziano.com
Here is a link to the whole thread with better explanations of what it happening in the park.

Past Weekend Update: 3/12-13
On the Richmond front, JRPS Trail Mgr and Richmond-MORE completed the boardwalk area on Buttermilk Proper giving some sweet new lines for all to enjoy! They've also made a few changes to the trail at the Reedy Creek climb to River Side Dr.
The E.V.M.A. Crew finished up Loop E @ Freedom Park this weekend! Trail totals are now about 20 miles there alone!

Few Updates from the weekend.
Richmond-MORE and JRPS have been doing some work on Buttermilk including fixing and adding to the boardwalk section.
Here's a photo!
Also, a few trail changes have happened @ both ends of Buttermilk Proper (22nd St & Ready Creek)
FHP has a tree down just after you get back on the trail at the top of Reedy Creek.
Pocahontas States Park: All it took was a few warm days and the ticks are out. So if you ride PSP, make sure to check yourself or wear repellant.
Freedom Park: James City County has informed us that construction clearing for the Interpretive Center began yesterday. There will be parking challenges from now until the end of construction. During construction parking will be permitted along the roadway inside the park. Please do not impede traffic and use good judgment, especially when it’s wet. Additionally, parking will be allowed at the schools on Jolly Pond Road.
Spotsylvania recently approved a 92 mile proposal for more trails in Spotsylvania co., projected completion time is 2036; but hey, it's a start...
*Note: A section of the multiuse trail and the connector trail on Trail A at Freedom Park will be closed indefinately due to construction debris.
Thanks for all the hard works folk!

Ra-MORE Trail Work on Belle Isle
Where: Belle Isle Trail Work
When: Sat: 1/22/11 Saturday @ 9am
Parking: Tredegar street parking lot (Underneath the train tracks)
Bring: Gloves, Work boots(if you have them!), water, & a snack.
Work: Continued work on the new trail on Belle Isle. This is the trail that takes you from the service road near the hydro plant back around to the lost garden. The trail is looking great but it’s not quite finished yet. That could be different if we get a few extra pairs of hands out there on Saturday.

Wayne Goodman - Jan. Progress...
I just wanted to bring to the front that a dear friend of the cycling community is making good progress!
A quote from his site, CantHoldAGoodmanDown.com (which I encourage folks to use to follow his progress!

Wayne continues to progress quickly in rehab. Since moving to the VA he's been receiving therapy for several hours a day. He's now transferring from bed to chair, walking some, and able to use his hands for most things. It's been amazing to watch Wayne working at his recovery.
There are many miles of this hard road ahead, but Wayne's spirits remain high.
