    Saturday May 16th, 2026 will be our first trail maintenance run of the year on Strawberry Pass Trail. This is the trail the club sponsors. To maintain member status you must make at least 1 trail maintenance run a year. Our key goals for this run are bucking trees down in the area, erosion control, and getting documentation of fire remediation actions needed.. We will use the club's HAM PosseV2 frequency for communications, so bring your HAM radios.

    Also, as a reminder, maintenance runs are a great opportunity for anyone needing to host a bbq/pot-luck for membership to do so. If you plan to do so, please post so folks know and can contribute.

    Meet at the Subway/Shell station in Pollock Pines off of Hwy 50 and Sly Park exit at 8:30am. We will meet and after a quick drivers meeting will head up to the trailhead about 9:00am.

    I am checking to see if I can adjust some things on my calendar so I can make it. Fingers crossed as it might be my only run this summer.

    It looks like I will be able to make this run. Will bring what tools I can, although without a chainsaw cert I am not sure how much use I will be.

    Made it home. 310 miles in one day was totally worth it.

    Just got home. Part of the adventurous group. Ended up turning into an inadvertent snow run.  Had lots of fun.  Everyone made it through and out on 88.  Spent over an hour diverting a stream heading down the trail to only crossing it.  People will post before during and after photos.  Great to see everyone.

    Made it home safe and sound today was a great day. We got a lot accomplished fixing five or six water bars. Everybody worked very hard and I think it will pay off in keeping the trail from getting so rutted . We had a great time doing a little snow wheeling coming out the 88 side Everybody made it through with no damage.

    Great day - made it through with a little (or a lot) of help from my friends.  What an adventure!  Home, showered and straight to bed for me - I’m beat!
