Howdy folks, we have once again arrived at a date with the Boulder Ranger district for the Jenny Creek annual workday. This year I will have my almost 2 year old daughter (Mila) with me since my wife will be out of town and I will be taking care of her. I would really appreciate it if somebody who is coming would sign up to be my right hand person. I't would be a great help for me so I could watch her and not have to focus 100% on the workday and take off early if she's getting beat.
WHO- This event is open to anybody who can make it. You do not need to be a member of Rising Sun to attend. Kids and dogs welcome, just make sure they are being watched and not in harms way. Leashes for dogs.

WHAT - Jenny Creek Trail Workday. We collaborate with the Boulder Ranger district to do general trail maintenance, post and cable repair, signage, campsite cleanup, illegal route management, and many other things. This is one of our adopt-a-trails that we have done a lot of work on to keep open and this is our opportunity to work with the Ranger District to continue to do so.
WHEN - August 24th. Its a Saturday, I hope it works for most folks... I know several work on Saturdays/The weekend and I am sorry.
WHERE - Jenny Creek Trail (808.1) https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd530033.pdf GET YOUR OHV PERMIT, they are now required and the money goes directly towards keeping trails like this open. This is a requirement for doing this run since Jenny Creek is a trail. Here is the thread on it: https://risingsun4x4club.org/xf/threads/ohv-permits-required-on-full-sized-vehicles.25153/page-2
MEETING PLACE - Lets meet at the turn off for Rollins Pass Rd. We did that last year and it worked out well. Exact location is here: https://goo.gl/maps/egxJWKyoCKo
Some feedback last year was that we could get started a little earlier so for this year lets plan on meeting at 8:00AM and we can get started airing down and doing the tailgate talk ASAP. Once were done we can head up to the trail proper. I'm hoping we won't be down there more than 30 minutes or so, so we'll be rolling out by 8:30am. CB channel 4 and HAM 147.420
Bring plenty of water and a lunch and plenty of snacks to stay energized and eat as you go. It will be manual labor so have your work gloves, wear some boots, bring a few trash bags, and some basic hand tools (like a shovel maybe) if you have them. We will be doing trash pickup along the trail as well as any post and cable repair, signage, or trail maintenance that needs to be done. I will figure out if we need cement or any other consumables and post up or acquire them. I will also share a more specific plan as it develops and we talk to the Boulder Ranger District more.
As always, bring rain gear, sun screen, and again plenty of water.
Let me know if you think you can make it.
See ya'll up there!
