    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.
