Count me in!

 

[Trail Bum]

I've got it on the calendar. Would love to camp the night before or the night of the clean-up.

 

[KC Masterpiece]

I have a race planned that Saturday but if it falls through I will be there and will bring Imelda for trash collection duty.

 

[PVCsnorkel]

I will be there. Are there any special tools we might need? Should we bring extra trash bags?

 

[MtnAddict]

We will be there.

 

[Jacket]

Insky.

Gives me a reason to use my volunteer day at work.

Will you be driving the Acadia?

trash bags are always a good idea. Also small tree clippers and bow saws for any fallen trees. We aren't allowed to use actual chain saws.

 

[Romer]

On the Calendar. Wife has family in town that week so I may be overruled

Count me in! If anyone has a suggestion for a modestly priced radio for comms, I'd love to hear it. Is the campground close to the trailhead or somewhere else?

In the past we typically camp a little ways up from the trail head. It's a good flat spot that can accommodate 8-10 trucks if we get our geometry right.

Does this include battery powered chainsaws?

Dates on my calendar.

Yeah that's the preferred spot, if it's available. Basically whomever can get up there first & find a spot just post up to the forum where you are, as there's cell coverage. and if your phone's dead, then just have your radio on to be listening for others.

Does this include battery powered chainsaws?

Yes it does, the official stance is that anyone operating such equipment must be certified Sawyers under the National Forest Service Crosscut and Chainsaw program. I believe our only member here with those credentials is @MDH33 but I doubt he's driving out for this one... it's all about safety and liability. The FS will have saws though if they're needed.

Judging by the strong response for this event, we'll probably just plan to arrive in time to jump in line. Thank you all for the responses. Really looking forward to this!

I think we generally start around 9am, but we've got the safety brief to do beforehand, so, like 8:30am?
