Piedmont Tail Stewards

How long have you been involved in trail building, include all of your experience, COGGS trails and others?
I started going to trail building nights to meet people when I first moved to Duluth about 6 years ago. It worked as I have made some great friendships and continue to have a hand in building and maintaining my favorite trails!
What is your favorite feature (or trail) that you have been involved in building?
I've really loved turning Merritt Creek into a feature-rich gem of a trail. And anytime we get to peel back layers of sod to reveal a new rock slab it's so exciting! The step-up jump on Lollygagger and the entire Lumpy Divots zone are standout examples.
