Okay we still need to get at least 6 more volunteers for
this crew. If you can come one of the days, that would be great! Both
days would be great! Just let me know if you can make this one. Should be a
great weekend out there! So hit the reply button or send me a separate e-mail [tturner@pcta.org],
waiting to hear from you all!!
Thanks for considering going out on this crew!

Here's another work party for Saturday and Sunday, Aug
27 & 28, on the PCT from Indian Springs to Lost Lake. This is a 2 day
event, with Dinner and Breakfast provided, and an overnight stay
at Indian Springs, which is a primitive camp site along the PCT.
A crew of 6-8 people on Saturday and a smaller crew of 5 volunteers
is needed for Sunday, only because there is a car shuttle and only seating for
6 total. 1 or 2 B-level sawyers are needed, both days.
Plan to meet at 8:30 am at Indian Springs Campground, on
Sat 8/27.
The plan is to hike South to attack the logs, as far as
possible, stash the tools and hike out. Then on Sunday, continue back where we
left off and finish up hiking out the Lost Lake Trail (TR617). This means 8-10
miles hiking on Saturday and 11+ miles on Sunday. We will do a car shuttle from
Lost Lake, back to Indian Springs, which takes about 30 minutes or so.
Basic work is to attack the downed trees. I'll be
scouting this out, but a hiker already provided an excellent report and there
are at least 15 trees down, some requiring cutting, and some just needing to be
cleared off the trails. Tread repair will also be expected, but only minor
tread work will be done, as time allows. This work party requires a lot of
ground to cover & with work to keep us busy, so the main focus will be to
clear the trail.
All tools will be provided, along with hard hats, and
normal PPE for the sawyers. Bring gloves, personal gear (sun screen, bug spray,
etc), lunch and lots of water. Wear long shirt, long pants
and sturdy boots, no hiking shoes.
