  Once again ROMP teamed up with the good people with the Viking Ski Club and came out to support the Donner Lake Rim Trail project, lead by Susan Sheffield of the Tahoe Donner Land Trust.
  ...
  Five of us, including Paul & myself worked with Susan and two other volunteers and did a fine job of it, finishing before lunch.
  ...
  Thanks to Susan for coordinating the trailwork, Mike Masek and family of Viking for co-sponsoring the weekend and ROMP for paying for our night's lodging there.

  ...
  "I would like to see it that you can hop on a trail in your neighborhood and hook into the whole system," said Sheffield.
  
  That goal is outlined in Truckee's Trails and Bikeways Master Plan, which includes the Donner Rim Trail as well as trails connecting Truckee neighborhoods with one another.
  
  "It will be great to see Truckee have a whole trail system," said Sheffield.
  
  When the rim trail is completed, a Tahoe Donner resident could get on the trail in his neighborhood and end up on the Pacific Crest Trail or the Hole in the Ground Trail, she said.
  
  Since the rim trail is going up as fast as the land trust can get volunteers out to build it, Sheffield is always looking for people who want to help build a section of trail.
  
  Whether it is swinging a pick, or lending a hand with much lighter brush clearing, there is always a need for trail builders.
  
  "We don't ever really turn away volunteers," said Sheffield."We try to accommodate everyone."
  
  Sheffield said volunteers from as far away as Florida have built part of the rim trail.
  
  "We might go out in the morning and see a brushy hillside, and when we leave, there will be a section of trail," Sheffield said."It is really rewarding."

  Susan Sheffield of the Truckee Donner Land Trust estimated that the group built approximately 100 feet of new trail while also making improvements to large sections of the existing trail.
  
  Sheffield, who serves as the rim trail coordinator, looks forward to working with clinic participants in the future in building the Donner Lake Rim Trail because of their new skills."The volunteers that we have are a lot more knowledgeable after participating in the four-hour class," she said.
  
  She was encouraged by the local turnout for the clinic."A lot of the people who were there last weekend were locals... whereas in general, a lot of my volunteers come from Sacramento and the Bay Area," Sheffield said.
  
  She hopes that the increased trailbuilding expertise in the local community will help get the Rim Trail completed ahead of schedule.
