Hello all,
This is information Chris sent me on the Glenmont Baddow Pass volunteer information.
I'll try and get it in again closer to the event. For now, it's something you can mark on your calendars. It actually sounds like fun to me!

"Hi Pat,
I was finally able to get the additional information about the Baddow
Pass. As I noted in the meeting a portion of spur of the
Rail-to-Trails corridor south of Glenmont is identified as passing
through Baddow Pass. This spur is in primative condition. The rails
have been removed from the railroad bed through the pass, but there
is no pavement. This spur intersects the paved trail very close to
CR 75 and extends northward toward Glenmont for about 2.5 miles.
On or about the 2nd Saturday in August 2010, Glenmont will celebrate
their Glenmont Homecoming (an anniversary, I believe). We would like
to post some of our Vol. naturalists along the 2.5 mile spur to do some
nature interpretation on that date. The Baddow Pass is located at
the southend of the spur - at a higher elevation than the northern
portion of the spur as you approach the Glenmont area. Trains had to
work a little bit to climb to the "mountain pass."
Hope this helps.
Chris"
