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.

Offline 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?

Offline Fountain Family count: 4 of us. Driver, Camera Lady, Two buff boys and one chain saw.....
Austin Pitt who was at the last meeting @ 4wheel parts, is planing on coming also.
If I can't build it, then it's something that should be bought.

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.

Good news! now come to the meeting to get your washer!!
6:36 am
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.
