Loader acquired! Thanks Kevin! Will see yall Saturday!
Hi Everyone – This Saturday, February 25th is the next OHV work day and thanks to Kevin Shortt we’ll have equipment (a front bucket load tractor) that we can use to load up the trailers and trucks with the rock to work on some more trail armoring. I really appreciate it. Glenn Fulmer said he’s coming up and will be hauling the FOU trailer and if there are any other folks that can make it and have trail trailers or pickups we can use to finish moving the rock from Dutch John Trailhead that would be great.
We’ll meet at 9 am at the Uwharrie Hunt Camp to get everyone signed up and then we’ll divide the crews. We’re going to try to finish the armoring on the clay sections of Wolf Den Trail, Dutch John Trail and the 90o turn on Dickey Bell Trail. We’ll try to finish using the pile of rock that is at the Dutch John TH and if we run out of that rock and we still have more armoring to do then we’ll move to getting the rip rap from the Cotton Place Trailhead.
We’ll also have some crews go around and pick up trash around the trailheads and the 2 vault toilets and old dispersed campsites. Additionally, if chainsaw certified folks are available and can bring their PPE and saws we’ll have some crews clear any logs and cut back the brush along the trails and around signs more this weekend. Please bring any of our loppers, pole saws and other cutting tools so we can clear back the trails as much as possible while they’re closed.
Thanks a lot everyone. I’ll see you this Saturday. Bye - Terry
