Sunday October 14th will be our second maintenance run of the year on Strawberry Pass Trail and the first maintenance run since the trail has re-opened.  This is the trail the club sponsors.  This is the Spring run was held on a Saturday in an attempt to accommodate peoples schedules.  To maintain member status you must make 1 of the 2 maintenance runs. If anyone is unable to make this event and wasn't on the spring run or fall run last year please talk to me at the meeting or send me a PM.  That said, this is about trail clearing and maintenance for the forest service.  Our key goal for this run is bucking the trees the equipment knocked down repairing the trail and moving the rocks back into place.

Trip info:

Meeting place - Shell at Pollock Pines exit off Highway 50 at 8:30am.  We will meet and after a quick drivers meeting, split into groups, and will head up to the trailhead about 9:00AM.
