In the past the GHP has volunteered at a winch hill for Sierra Trek. That has been quite a while but they reached out to us because of a shortage of volunteers for their upcoming event. Here are some details:

==================================
We need help with the following areas:
• Refrigerated Truck Driver - pickup from Ryder in West Sacramento, drive to Sysco, Costco etc. 6-7 hour commitment one day – August 4th or 5th
• Refrigerated Truck Driver - return to Ryder in West Sacramento August 9th or 10th.
• Transportation Drivers - any person that could pull a trailers to Meadow Lake on Aug 1st
• Transportation Drivers - any person that could pull a trailers back to the Cal4Wheel office on Aug 9th
• Thursday Dinner Crew - 5 to 7 people (any amount is welcome) Arrive 3PM, Finish 9PM
• Saturday Breakfast Crew - 5 to 7 people (any amount is welcome)
• In Camp Games/Activities - We have someone leading this. We only need a few extra folks to help on the Saturday of the event to run a couple of the activities. Cornhole, Marshmellow golf, oversized tricycle race, lawn darts, kids inflatable slide, etc.
• Help with setup and tear down and the end of the event/Sunday morning
• Kitchen Coordinator - morning shift
• Kitchen Coordinator - evening shift
Thank you so much!!
Amy Sagraves
==========================

As you can see there are seveal areas and several different timing requirements. If anyone, or the club may be interested here, please post back and we will discuss this further!

I plan to attend this event. I'll have to check my schedule to see what I can fit in for helping.

How come the club has no longer helped with this event?

Um...what?

We originally managed a winch hill.
Then the trek was trying to charge us for their party that we didn't attend. Then some other stuff.

Amy wasn't in charge back then so I don't want to blame her for any past issues. She's trying to do the best she can.

I would like to be a part of something like this sometime, but my rig isn't Fordyce capable yet. I think it would be fun to work a winch hill.

Um...what?

Pulled a box trailer up there Saturday for Cal 4 Wheel. Neat drive once you turn off 89. Trailer wasn't new but had new tires and a spare. 5 pin wiring didn't match my 5 to 7 adapter but no issues getting it there without trailer brakes. It was impressive to see the size of some of the rigs people had drug back in there.

Had a nice picnic by the lake before heading home. Meadow-Lake-2.jpgImage Enlarger
