Redmond: Cline Butte DH3 Reroute - Build & Test Ride

## Details

What: Join us at Cline Butte Rock Pit Trailhead on day 1 of volunteer work parties building the lower section of DH3 Trail, realigning it away from a private property and onto BLM land. COTA builders have built 0.2 mile of the reroute so far, including several features such as rock drops and jumps. The crew is getting into sections requiring intensive work and they need your help!
Where: The group will be meeting at the Cline Rock Pit Trailhead off of Cline Falls Road, Redmond, OR 97756. We will hike in to the build site from there. Your Crew Leader will discuss the exact work area location on the day of your event.
When: Please arrive 5-10 minutes early, so we can have an on time start. If anyone is running late or gets lost, please call or text your Crew Leader.
What to expect: After meeting with your Crew Leader, the group will have a short safety and work overview briefing. From there, the group will gather tools and hike to the work area. Be prepared for hard work (including rock cribbing, deep bench cutting/in-sloping, digging pits and carrying buckets of dirt, etc), and to have FUN! We love talking about the trails and the techniques used to maintain them, so ask questions if you have them. We encourage you to bring your bike and test ride the completed sections of the trail!
Cancellation: Plan on working rain or shine. If there is inclement weather, smoke from wildfires, or anything COTA deems dangerous, your COTA Crew Leader will update this meetup page and a message will go out. If you do not hear from your COTA Crew Leader, the event is on. If still in doubt you can call or text your Crew Leader.
What To Bring:

• Warm clothes (layers, in case of inclement weather)
• Sunscreen/chapstick
• Water
• Snacks
• Sturdy, close toed shoes
• Backpack to carry your things
