Hello everyone,
Here is yet another opportunity to go out and work on the PCT!! Have you heard of Potato Hill? It is the top of the Mount Hood Chapters' region, just north of Mt. Adams.
We would love to have 12 volunteers for this crew. Please join us on the weekend of
July 19-20 to log out and do tread work on this 13.7 mile section, which includes Mt. Adams North. We'll be car camping at Midway Guard Station, which is more rustic than it sounds.
Meals will be provided and they may include potatoes. This includes breakfast, lunch and dinner!! (well maybe not potatoes each meal)
Crew leaders: Karla Hawley, Ruth Weston, and Roberta Cobb
You will need to bring your camping gear, water bottles, sun screen, bug juice, etc. You will also be responsible for appropriate clothing: long pants, long sleeves and sturdy boots to work in. If you have a good pair of work gloves and/or
a hard hat, you should bring them as well.
We will provide all the tools and hard hats, plus gloves – in case you don’t have a pair. All necessary information and instruction to do the tasks at hand. In case you missed it above, we will provide all the meals!
If this is interesting to you, please respond to Ruth Weston,
bmaffy@msn.com and she will get you on the crew list. When the crew is full, an e-mail with all the particulars will go out as well.
Thanks for considering this one,
Tammy
