2020 was a big year on the JJTrail. Even with the COVID-19 pandemic affecting every aspect of life, trail volunteers still managed to complete the last big bridge aka The Championship Bridge in July 2020. (continues at link...) http://www.jjtrail.org/2020/12/2020-recap-of-the-jjtrail/

#JJTrail map - working on finishing the #championshipbridge (shown as #bridge3 on the map) railings and ramp approaches - also constructing water diversions to keep the foundations from getting water around the bases. After this bridge is done then we move to the #finallink boardwalk and retention walls after an assist from #klsdoperations

This is a banner we made for the original race day April 19, 2020 - larger version is here: https://leathermansloop.smugmug.com//2020-Volunt/i-HbF873S - still looking at September for an event. Thinking hybrid virtual and in-person. Whatever everyone is comfortable doing. Then combine results.
