Hello Everyone,

Here’s an opportunity for some of you to get out and get some end-of-the-year trail karma! We are still working on the trail from the November storms (and now some December ones too!). We need 6 volunteers for a log out on Wednesday, December 30^th on the Oregon side of the Bridge of the Gods.

On the log out, we need swampers (clean up folks working with the sawyer) and then others to help with other work. Most of us will be working to pull all the debris further off the trail to ensure good drainage, and also to fix the tread where the branches and logs caused damage.  No experience necessary, this is a good one for novice workers.  Going to be a lot of dragging of limbs further off the trail and patching up the tread. Hiking will be about 7 miles round trip.

You will need to bring lunch, snacks and water for the day. As always, you need to wear long pants, long sleeves and sturdy boots. Plus you should wear clothes for winter weather. Please do not wear cotton as this can lead to hyperthermia, but do wear layers to keep warm and cool off. You will also need good working gloves.

We will provide all the tools and instructions needed for the work party. We will also provide hard hats and some work gloves you can use if needed.

Roberta Cobb is the crew Leader.

So if this sounds interesting and works in your schedule, please hit reply and I’ll get you on the list. Or you can send me an e-mail at tturner@pcta.org.

Thanks for considering this one,

Tammy
