Kanook and I had been passing on visits to the Dog Run lately due to the muddy conditions there. However, as promised by Ron Grall of the Waukesha Parks Department, fresh wood chips have been laid on the ENTIRE trail. Thank you Ron, for getting this important maintenance item done.
But as Paul Harvey says, here's the REST of the story.
As I understand it, there is a group of students at Carroll College that belong to a group that are called "Up With People". They get course credit by doing community service and this was one of those projects. I did not know that this was being done otherwise I would have made an outing of it and seen that some refreshments, cheer-leading and some help with the shovels was provided. Instead, they quietly went about their service and got the job done.
I get a warm and fuzzy feeling thinking about these people! A huge THANK YOU on behalf of dog owners in Waukesha that use this secret off-leash dog exercise area. For information and directions to this trail,
