2013 Spring Maintenance Run - Saturday May 11th

    The Spring Maintenance run is this Saturday, May 11th. Since this is the spring run and the snow level is uncertain, we'll cover the trail from the 50 side only. We'll meet at the Chevron/Market/Deli at Fresh Pond.

    Meet at 8:30am and leave by 9am.



    We should plan on doing some of the following items:



    Litter removal

    Dragging smaller downed trees off the trail

    Cutting larger trees with chainsaws

    Blocking un-authorized bypasses

    Trimming overgrown brush

    Checking the Culverts for blockage



    I will need to ride along with someone, my Jeep is still down, I don’t think it will be ready in time.

    Remember that you can ride with other members as well. Bring at least a garbage bag and some gloves.



    Other helpful items are

    Shovels

    Rakes

    Loppers

    Chainsaw

    Pry bars

    Pruning shears.



    For members/active prospects - 1 maintenance run attendance is a requirement under our by-laws, so if you cannot make the fall run on Saturday, October 13th, you should plan to attend this one.



    Attendees so far:

    George

    Tom & Ronie

    Bill

    The Fountain Four

    Austin

    Greg

    Brad

    John





    Also – bring a sack lunch and plenty of water

    I don't know if I'm going yet.



    IF I go, I'll only go to V-rock. That will be my turnaround point. Not that I don't want the challenge again, just in the interest of time. 😀



    So I'm a "maybe" at this time and should know by Wednesday.

    I used to wheel a lot. . .

    No, just this one. I closed the thread started last night. The other is announcing both Work Days.



    Ronie and I will be there ... possibly have some assistance with us.

    Um, fresh pond is not the shell station in pollock pines. It's the Chevron after that on the right directly off 50, Big sign says fresh pond. Between the sly park exit and ice house road.

    Um...what?

    I'm out but I'm hoping you guys find a couple big trees to show off your skills. If you do please cut them into 16" rounds and set them aside for me. 😁

    I'd love a seat! It's a long walk . . . . .



    I'll either grab a seat for the return trip from someone else or we might even be finished by then, we'll see.

    I am planning on attending the run, along with wife, and kid. Is this open to anyone, or members/prospects only? I have 2 friends interested in coming along to help out. Actually, I guess I'm included in that, as I haven't made prospect status yet!

    The club's history has always been everyone is welcome! This specific run is a maintenance run so we do a lot more "stopping and working" than wheeling. If everyone is ok with it, you are more than welcome to attend.



    I don't know if the suggested items list is in this thread. Here are some things to show up with if you have them (and the space for them):



    Gloves

    trash bag

    loppers

    hedge trimmer

    Chainsaw

    protective gear

    shovels

    Pick axe

    pry bar



    At a minimum, gloves and a good attitude will make for a fun day.
