I finally have a USFS soil scientist willing to go for a ride with us on strawberry.  As they typically do, the forest service wants to bring some additional people along. If anyone is available mid-week please post up/text me. Dates are TBD but sometime in the next 2-3 weeks.

I'm traveling for work next week, but otherwise should be able to make it if you provide me a couple days' notice!

And I can bring up to 4 additional people (3 is likely ideal).

Sorry, my Jeep has death wobble so I won't be able to participate in this unless I somehow get it fixed before then.

Run on strawberry was completed but we will be doing a second run to go to the washout on long canyon again. Date TBD.

 

Strawberry run was a success. The soil scientist used to drive a cj5 in college so had a decent understanding of what we do/want to do. He signed off on pretty much everything besides the braided trail ideas. In short, I need to write up a work plan with more details but we have approval to bring a mini-excavator through the trail, establish gate keepers, add signage, block off braided routes, establish dips/water bars, and generally fix the damage from the Caldor dozer line. Might get permission to do some initial water bars in November else work would be planned for 2 phases in 2025.

This is awesome!  I look forward to what we can do.

Is there any wiggle room in this action report that will allow for us to be able to get some trees?

I did ask about tree planting and that is a question the soil scientist and rec officer were fine with but will need approval by a few specific people who haven't been included in this work effort yet.

Yes, draft up a 1 page plan of what you want to accomplish. I will help you turn this into the work proposal we will send to the forest service for approval.
