Event Description:

UPDATE: The March 30/31 Maintenance Outing has changed to Sunday March 31 only, due to weather and trail conditions. Still meeting a Longview Park at 9:30am, and we'll proceed from there to the work site.

Rescheduled from March 9 to March 30 due to weather and trail conditions.

What to Bring: We will be working with both power and hand tools in an outdoor environment. The reroute locations are along the shoreline, so if it's cold and windy please dress accordingly. Be sure to dress in layers, as it is likely to start out cold but warm up during the day. Given the highly variable weather at this time of year, be prepared for light rain and/or snow as well. We have a trailer with power equipment, as well as extra hand tools such as bow saws, loppers, as well as specialized tools such as Pulaskis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulaski_(tool)) and McLeods (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLeod_(tool)). You should bring work gloves. Additional hand tools that you want to bring are optional. Also bring your own lunch, snacks and plenty of water.

Event Description:

We're going to rebuild the bridge at Mile 6.6 on the Blue Trail. This is the bridge we've called the "Broken Bridge" for awhile. It isn't actually broken or unsafe, but is continuing to deteriorate. So we're going to replace it with new timbers and tread boards.

The nearest parking is in Campground 3 at the shower house on the south end of the Campground

What to Bring: If you have a cordless drill bring it along with extra fully charged batteries as we'll be driving about 150 screws. Gloves would be a good idea to handle the rough lumber we'll be using. We'll provide all the other tools and materials.
