Let's get the weekly party in the woods up and running again, and make the park itself better than ever while we're at it.

The first night session back will be the annual Halloween Night Jam (Friday October 31), followed by recurring Friday sessions as well as one other day (on a shifting schedule) to ensure those of differing work schedules get to enjoy this unique experience.

The first $1,000 in this fundraiser will go to:

1. Generator servicing (can't have these lights going out with people midair!)

2. New bulbs (enough to replace all existing breaks, as well as a small reserve ready to replace future dead bulbs as they occur)

3. Light strand repair equipment (an extension ladder, ropes, anything else needed to fix multiple snapped wires across ATM and Berm-A-Nator)

4. Enough gas to get started as well as a few gas cans.

The next $1,000 will go to:

1. Building a shed to house all night session equipment, + tools, wheelbarrows, ladders, etc.

2. Two wood picnic tables and bike stands (I'm blazing out two new congregation areas up top and along the Walk-Up trail to give riders and spectators more spaces to hang out)

The remainder will be an ongoing fund for gas (one to two sessions a week will get expensive fast) and trailbuilding equipment (the tools the dig team has donated have been well worn by 3-4 dig days a week, and are rapidly breaking as expected). That said, once everything is accomplished, we may just have to light up Knucklehead and some new lines we have planned...

Let's get back to it!
