If you notice the new bike repair tool stand at the Prince Creek trailhead, that is the result of an Eagle Scout service project led by Andy McMichael (pictured) of Scout Troop #242. He noticed the need during practices as a member of the Roaring Fork High School mountain bike team. The project beneficiaries are the Roaring Fork Mountain Bike Association and Pitkin County Open Space and Trails. The project was made possible thanks to donations from the Aspen Elks Lodge, Basalt Lions Club, Rotary Club of Carbondale and generous individuals, along with volunteer labor from members of Scout Troop #242. Also this summer, Liam Heath of Basalt built a shade shelter for the bike park at Crown Mountain Park for his Eagle Scout project, which was funded by Aspen Elks Lodge and Basalt Lions Club and built with volunteer labor from the troop and community.
