The ranger at the park will also help with carrying the gravel.  Estimated Time of Completion:  6 hours, maybe more.  Please note if you plan to arrive after 2 PM, watch your email in case we finish early.  What to bring: Work clothes (boots, work gloves, long pants), sunscreen (if needed), wheelbarrows and shovels. REMEMBER TO BRING WATER.  What’ll be provided: Water and snacks will be provided as well as pizza for lunch.  Parking: There’s a parking lot near the end of the road after you enter Sandy Run Regional Park.  Where to meet: We will meet by the top of the stairway leading to the rowing machine room near the boathouse.  Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns:  Marcus Uptmor  uptmomar@gmail.com  240-382-0770
