Has anyone heard anything about the Uwharrie Off Season Workday for January 26? What is going to be done? Any specialized equipment needed?

CNC 4x4 Club is here to help.

Thanks,
Scott
 
Scott, Not seen the Official word yet but as of the other day the plans were to be putting up guard rail on RML in a few places .
 
Stew good for everyone??? I will be cooking so need a head count....
 
Stew works for me i know. Then again i do not turn down much for food.
 
It would be great if we could get a HUGE turnout for this work day to show the FS that we are dedicated!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
1. Here is the info from Terry.


Rocky Mountain Loop Trail – install 3 sections of guardrail. Two will be extending existing guardrail and one would be new installation. These 3 sites are very close to each other. We will need to transport/drag a total of 6 long (25 ft) rails and 7 posts. We’ll have a Bobcat & Auger lined up for that day thanks to the many clubs and volunteers that have donated money for the rental. For this project site we’ll be heading in from the Dutch John Trail.
2. Dutch John Trail – install several sections of guardrail. The guardrail and posts are already on site. This will be finishing up the guardrail work that was begun last year but we had a mishap with the old auger. We’ll be using our newer hand augers and our muscles to install these at the bottom of the hill climb on Dutch John Trail near its intersection with Slab Pile Trail.
 
would still be nice to see a weekday workday for those of us who work every weekend

Everyday is a workday at URE. Simply choose a task(we know what needs to be done as respobile wheelers), do it then record the time spent with the forest service. There is also talk of a record book at the outpost so time can be recorded there...
 
You could also help out the friday prior to the weekend. That would involve getting the supplies to the spots we need them. That would help alot for the workday.
 
Unfortunately as of last night we have no funds for getting a rental Bobcat, so we might be doing all this by hand. I am working with my club but can not promiss anything.
 
Work weekends: January 26, February 23, March 16, April 20, May 18, June 15, July 20, Aug 17, Sept 21, Oct 19, and Nov 16.
CLUBS:The USFS wants more involvement from the Adopt-a-Trail agreement signers.
I’ve attached the current list of trail adoptees and the club or clubs that have adopted them. If this information is incorrect please contact TSavery@fs.fed.us or 910-576-6391 with the correct information. Also attached adopt-a-trail agreements (Please read what your club has signed and agreed to do). Also attached is the volunteer form for individuals or groups.

Things are getting more organized and you will see some positive changes with organization soon. Unfortunately that means more forms (paperwork) sometimes:)

It would benefit Uwharrie if the Clubs would take more ownership. Some Clubs are out there every month. Some that have adopted trails are not. The FS wants to make it clear that the Adopt-a-Trail clubs don't have to just come to the scheduled 3rd weekend workdays. The hope is the Adopt-a-Trail clubs would work directly with the FS themselves and setup there own workdays!! Whenever they want to.

I'm just a messenger.......

For all the clubs that are stepping up can you please let Snappy know how many you have coming . He is making us some stew so i would just like to make sure he has a rough idea of how many are coming out.

Also please let Terry know about how many you have coming.

Thanks

Yes Sir.

I know a few of us meet over at the Outpost at about 0800 before going to hunt camp.

Snappy, I "should" have between 5-10 with me coming from my group.
