Roadside Trail Day 6/13

Post by Josephine »

Mike Driskell has graciously offered to head a Spring Trail Day @ Roadside Crag
Saturday, June 13th, 2009
8:00 am till ???
Meet at the Roadside Lot at 8:00 am (Try to carpool as much as possible).
Dress for outdoor work (with optional afternoon and evening climbing apparel).
Tools needed are shovels, picks, pry bars, spades, rakes, loppers and pruners.
Trash bags

Projects include:

1. Relocate start of main trail closer to the parking lot.
2. Install a sign to display the rules for this area.
3. Install more water bars on trail from parking lot up to the base of Roadside Attraction.
4. Build steps where needed.
5. Redo the cribbing at the base of the slab routes.
6. Remove litter.
7. As many other tasks as we can get done!

Please RSVP if you plan to attend so we can have a better idea of how to allocate workers. You can PM me or respond to the facebook event invite (which will be posted shortly).

Thanks!

Driskell has also graciously offered to provide lunch. When you go up to the crag you will see flagging for the trail work already in place. Please, leave the flaggng there.

Why would you want to move the trail closer to the parking lot?

Yea, I guess that shoulder area of the road is too difficult to find and walk on. So lets move the trail. Focus on a problem that needs attention like the slab area!

Great poster Meadows !!! We will be working on the slab area if we have enough volunteers. That part of the work will take at least 10 people.
