Block Party On

Common Area:
Common Area Trails – I’ve been out in the common area in the middle of some of the
recent storms and the trails have held up wonderfully.
Our common area is now a nice area for walks year-round.
The trails are solid, no problem with mud and scene is still not only
attractive but quite different than the summer.
If you’re looking for a few minutes to get out for a walk, try the
common area. Maps can be found on
the web page or in your latest directory.
Fire Brush Removal – Take a look in the common area and you’ll some great results from
the fire fuel abatement work that took place in the common area.
This year’s effort focused in the southwest corner of the common area.
Firewood Available – Firewood is still available from the fire fuel abatement work.
These pieces are available to any homeowner. If you need access by truck
into the common area, check with Bill Furnas for a key to the gate.
To see examples of the firewood
available check this photo.
Improvements: The
Common Area gang has been clearing the fire roads and expanding the decomposed
granite portions of the picnic hill pathways.
Wild Flowers –
The wildflowers are starting to come up. Everyday we’re seeing more and
more wildflower blooms. Visit the common area and check them out.
Some of the best viewing areas are along the picnic hill loop and around the
center trail footbridge.
Join in and help out - the next Common Area Improvement Volunteer days are Saturday,
April 6th and 20th. Show up at Bill Furnas' house (8345 Walden Woods
Way) at 9AM.
