TRAIL PROJECT!
It looks like we have approval for a short trail reroute on the trail to the falls.
When : July 9th and July 10th if needed.
Where: Meet in the gravel pits Ghost FLUZ 9:00.
What: We need to clear a section of unused trail and close a portion along the river that has eroded and has a dangerous turn.
What do we need: Winches, Chain saws, Shovels, Picks, Axes, Sledge hammers, Rakes
All participants should have proper personal protective equipment for this style of work. Proper boots, cloves, Chain saw pants if using saws.
Please post up who can make it. A few trailers may also be helpful. Many hands make light work.
-
I should be able to make it to this one
-
i should be down . .and i have a chain saw and i love to use it .. some people may even call me an adict lool
anyways .. ill be there
-
Ill most likely be in. Break in the new saw.
-
I dont see a problem with this one fitting in to my schedule. I wont have access to my saw as it will be up on the farm, but I can bring along my Kevlar pants and helmet if you need someone to cut. Otherwise, I have a pick and shovel in the heep at all times anyways :) If not in my own jeep due to repairs I will ride shotty with someone :)
-
I am going to try and make it for this. It's the day after I get back from vacation but I would really like to get out there. I have an axe a shovel and I can probably get my hands on a pick.

I would like to come out and help, I only can bring my self. I don't have any power tools just some hand tools. I want to xp the hard work behind all the fun that we have. Extra hands might be useful I think. And would my jeep be able to get there?
Thanks

I dont expect your JK will have any problem out there Anton, unless the terrain has gotten drastically worse since I was last there, you should be just fine!

The trail project is completed under the direction of ASRD. The chain saw pants are a requirement at their request. We are actually removing very few trees and clearing a few stumps. I hope not to take down any mature trees just cut up some dead fall. The request for the chain saw pants and more extensive PPE has been a standing requirement on approved projects for a long time. Please bring them In the past we have been required to stop work on projects because we did not have the right safty gear.

Yea throw rocks at the guy with a chain saw!
Fortunately I have all proper ppe required. Though I have seen a chain saw tear off a foot while wearing chain saw boots....
-
Project is still a go. See you Sat AM.
Link to a map on ASRD web site. Meet at point 95.

Good to hear this is still a go Blair! I was able to grab my chainsaw, a couple wedges some extra bar oil and chains along with all my ppe gear over the weekend and hauled it all down here to Calgary. I also have access to a large pick that I can drag with me Im sure. I will be riding shotgun with the Mangerine fox this time as my XJ is still needing some pinion work.. but should be a good day :) See you guys at 9!
