Help wanted! The Banadad Trail Association invites you to help get the Banadad Ski Trail ready for winter. Tentative plans call for cutting a 300-foot reroute around a beaver dam blocking the Banadad’s Tall Pines Trail and hand cutting this past summer’s accumulated downfall on the east end of the Banadad inside the Boundary Waters Canoe Area.

Meet for the Trail Work Day at 9:00 a.m., Saturday, October 24, at Poplar Creek Guesthouse B&B, 11 Poplar Creek Drive (just off the Lima Grade), Gunflint Trail. Hand tools and lunches will be provided to all volunteers. Wear sturdy clothing and boots.

After the trail work volunteers are invited to return to the Poplar Creek Guesthouse to clean up and for a short reception.

At 6 p.m., trail clearing volunteers and other friends of the Banadad are invited to the Banadad Trail Association’s annual meeting followed by a potluck dinner at the Schaap Community Center – Gunflint Fire Hall #1 – on Gunflint Trail (next to Lima Grade). Bring a dish to pass.

For more information on the Trail Work Day and/or the Banadad Trail Association’s Annual Meeting and Potluck Dinner, call 218-388-4487.
