Sunday May 22nd 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.  Like last year, if the snow is deep we will be turning around.

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 (can only be used by USFS certified operators on the trail) and safety gear (chaps, eye protection, ear protection)

-Water

-Lunch

-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.
