Hey Crew:

Although the Boulder County Ranger District did not have an Oct. monthly meeting, they are sending the following message.

"Would anyone be willing and able to help the OHV Crew close down seasonal routes this year? If so, please respond to Joel Sladky (OHV Crew Leader) and his e-mail is cc’ed here. He will be in charge of gate closings this year.

TRR has already mentioned Nov. 27th for MSV/Coney Flats, and that is the tentative plan pending snow!

Thanks again to each and everyone of you for helping the BRD manage its motorized program! Take care and I am sure I will see you all out in the field!"

Is anyone available help assist with gate closures? If so, let me know and I will notify and coordinate with Joel, if there is much in the way of coordination.

Thank you

Aaron Moeller

Aaron, I have some time and also would like to help with this. I don't want to get in your way or confuse coordination, but I am happy to help you with it. I've worked with the USFS on fires and am familiar with them, especially Boulder District. Let me know how you would like to proceed when the time comes, it sounds like we have a few weeks. Thanks so much for your leadership!!!!

Did anyone head up for the yankee hill trail repair on Saturday? I keep seeing posts about it on the mybooks and Rising sun want mentioned. I was under the impression a few of us were heading up to lend a hand.

I don't know that we did. To be fair, we heard about it second hand just 2 days ahead of the action.
I'm going to reach out the the source sender and point out our land use contact points so we could get a better heads up in the future.
