Browns camp trail work party

[imbentagain]

I know how hard this crew works on 7up (sorry I missed the repair times last year) but I just wanted to give a heads up on the latest I got today..
_________________________


An OHV Work party is occurring on March 10th at 9:00am. T2N, R6W, sec.36 (Powerline Trail) Happy Meal Section



Anyone is welcome; we'll be digging into the rock staged at the top/bottom of the trail. Our main objective is to harden rolling dips and trail tread. We have one section needing fill and rehab. Folks will want to think about bringing something to haul rock. ODF will have an excavator, 1-6x6, and a rock hauler to assist with the work party.



What to bring: Proper Protective Equipment (boots, work cloths, eye protection, gloves, etc.), water and some snacks or lunch.



Tools needed for moving rock: Shovel, Bent Shovel, Hoe, or Pulaski, or anything you may have to disperse/dig material. The department will have some on hand as well. Please RSVP!



Equipment needed: Something able to haul rock. If someone would like to bring a piece of equipment (i.e. excavator, skid steer, or just anything) please contact me. Please RSVP, we’ll need to get unloaded sooner to start at nine.



How to get there: Head west on Hwy6 and turn at the Summit onto Beaver Dam Rd. Follow Beaver Dam Rd. to the first right (U-Falls Rd) and stay right across the wood bridge. You’ll see us at the start of the trail at the top of the hill.



I’ll be setting up more tomorrow in the field with the six inches of fresh snow on the trail. Hope to see yea at the work party,

Kelly, thats for the info. I will plan on making it there, althogh I have to say I was up there last weekend and drove over that spot. I have to say it is just starting to get fun now but I understand the fine line between having fun and environmental groups looking to shut down the area.

[imbentagain]

I posted FOR Kelly.
As of 6:50 pm tonight, I have had 99 views on the different boards that I have posted. I am interested to see how many will show. It'll be just like a snow run- except I guarantee you'll be working.

Oh yes, sorry Tom. Aren’t you the one with the red & White 70's bronco and killer military trailer? I would love to see you post up some pictures and specs of that beast of a trailer.

[imbentagain]

Yes, thats me. I should get a photobucket thingy or something.
There are pictures here www.broncofix.com/viewtopic.php?t=272300

The box is .125 wall aluminum, 1x2 alum. rim for strength. the axle is a tortional axle so with 33's I get 19" of ground clearance, the tongue slides an extra 3' for highway handling or to mount the reciever hitch rack across the front. Reciever hitch out back.

I'm redoing the tailgate mount now, so there wont be one on it saturday.

Subject: Canceled Workparty this WEEKEND!
Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2007 13:25:13 -0800

Sorry to break the news, Mother Nature has been at its best the last
couple of weeks. Please spread the word the Powerline OHV work party is
canceled. Both the Happy Meal section and route to University Firepower
are very saturated and wet. The first dry trend, our operators will
work on the route leading to University Firepower.



Starting next week, given a let up in precipitation, they will work the
Happy Meal section. During this time the trail will be temporally
closed until the upgrades are complete. With the amount of moisture in
the tread we would need two to three times the amount of rock to upgrade
the trail. Even with the weight of the equipment on the tread, one can
induce more damage than currently present. Keep yours fingers crossed
for a dry trend.



Thanks for your understanding and we'll back on a 4x4 section in May,

Me and the dog went up on tuesday afternoon. I tell ya what if I was in anything other than a Jeep say a toyota or ford I woulda had to put er' in 4x4 .. J/k well not really. But the road part right after you get out of the trees is pretty tore up which I thought was odd but? I did play in a couple mud puddles and got some air on the whoops on the second leg. Good times...

[imbentagain]

I guess the good news is the trail can continue to be FUN
