Sunday November 17, 2024 will be our second 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 (as I dropped the ball on posting the first fall run this is a second opportunity AND another mid-week chauffer some forest service people through with dates TBD will happen). 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.

Offline There are at least 4 downed tress on 11N19 just past the northern trailhead, may require a chainsaw if not fully broken but are on the bigger end of handsaw size. (8-10")

Offline Please be prepared for both the maintenance aspects of this effort as well as the potential for snow. So recovery straps and shovels as well as loppers, gloves, trash bags and saws for some of us.

Offline I have to bail on the maintenance run, spent all day scraping moss off the roof and I thought it would only take a few hours. No time to get the top on the jeep and get ready for tomorrow. Have fun and be safe, totally bummed I can't go.

Offline Absolutely a fantastic day 
Great time, it was cool to "go over the top" of strawberry.
Personal thanks to Dale for the lead to the home road.
Made it home about 7:15p
If I can't build it, then it's something that should be bought.

Offline Made it home safe and sound. Alternator died on the truck and was down to 10 volts by the time I hit the driveway. I guess more trail damage lol. Thanks to everyone who came out today and helped to work on the trail.

Offline Had a great time on the run, thanks to everyone who helped me out......first time for me driving on so much snow on a trail. Made it home by 7:00 but hit a deer going 60 mph on 50 west bound after Shingle Springs on the way. I am sure the deer did not survive.
Did not see it after I hit it. I ended up on the center median, somehow, no memory of those 15 seconds. It must have hit the driver's front wheel. My guardian Angels must have been in the Jeep with me, I was very lucky. Not injured, didn't hit any one else, the Jeep looks fine and drives fine, after all it is a Jeep, but my Electronic Stability Control Light is on and my steering wheel is canted about 15 degrees. Talked to Scott at
Cloakworks, he thinks something is bent on the steering assembly. Off to spend more $$$ next week to get it fixed. Glad everyone enjoyed the cookies.
