Sunday June 11th will be our first maintenance run of the year on Strawberry Pass Trail. This is the trail the club sponsors and is closed to the public. This is the Spring run and another run will be held in fall on a Saturday in an attempt to accommodate peoples schedules. To maintain member status you must make 1 of the 2 maintenance runs. These maintenance runs are the only way for non-members to run the trail. That said, this is about trail clearing and maintenance for the forest service, not about running the trail. We will likely see some progress on the trail in late summer so this run is crucial to identify any access issues for the trail repairs to begin. Snow levels are deep this year but this run will be far later than usual so I am hopeful that we will make it at least most of the way up the trail.
Trip info:
Meeting place - Chevron at Fresh Pond exit off Highway 50 at 8:30am. We will meet and after a quick drivers meeting will head up to the trailhead about 9:00AM.
Things to bring:
-Gloves
-Loppers/hand saw
-Chainsaw (please only USFS certified operators, no exceptions) and safety gear (chaps, eye protection, ear protection)
-Water

-Door magnets
-Good attitude (this is pubic land closed by a lawsuit, our effort here is what will reopen the trail and keep other trails open)
Please post if you will be attending. A rig is not necessary to attend as there are plenty of open seats. Just post up if you will need a ride and I will make sure you have a seat before we leave the parking lot. If this is your first trail run with the club then please review the vehicle requirements. Expect more details at the drivers meeting.
