Mac Pass Trail Work Update-Work Day Oct 30

Posted on October 20th, 2010

Five club members (Gregg & Wendy Wheeler, Larry Dolan, Mark Hall and myself) did trail work on a very pleasant Sunday. Here is the report:

Haul Road - Weed whacked, rocks removed, no fallen trees, snow fence in working order

Big Pine - Weed whacked, rocks removed, fallen trees removed

Meadow - Rocks removed, fallen trees removed, snow fence repaired. Some areas have tall and thick grass that was not weed whacked.

Little Porcupine started, but not completed

Kelly Hump Road - Rocks removed, no fallen trees

Microwave Road had some culverts installed and existing culverts had their inlets cleaned out. It also had water bars, installed; not as severe as a speed bump, but sure looked like it would serve the purpose of draining water off the road

Club weed whackers and chain saws are in the shop being serviced, and should be ready to go for the next trail day. I'd like to schedule the next trail work day on October 30 at 12:00. Work itinerary is:

Weed whack Meadow loop

Old Cabin will need weed whacking, rock removal, and removal of any fallen trees

This work could take some time, as weed whacking will likely be slow. I will send a reminder next week. If anyone has any suggestions for other trail work, you are welcome to comment.

Bill Hammer (possibly others) and I should be able to finish Little Porcupine next week, so hopefully that will be out of the way for the weekend.

I hope we have another beautiful day for the next trail maintenance session. See you there.
