STAR-Trail F: Hand building (morning)
Details
Machine Building for Trail F in SISTERS is finished! But we still have several sections of trail that will need to be built by hand.
When: September 5th, 8am start, with a plan to be back at the vehicles by 12pm.
Where:
-Meet at 44.23212, -121.53226 (https://maps.app.goo.gl/bDJqjExdagbNxtAx6)
*Go up Three Creek Road Turn left on NF 1608
- Stay on 1608 for 1.5 miles then at the top of the hill turn right on NF 1608-500 (also known as Shattuck Road) Park at this intersection.
*From there we will will walk about 15 minutes to our work site.
Drive in from Sisters, the back roads can be pretty rough.
What: As we moved the machine down, there were sections of side hill that had a lot of rocks. In order to keep the trail difficulty and the rocks, we decided to save those sections for hand building.
This is very different from the hand finishing work we've been doing. A lot more digging, using rock bars and picks to move material off and cut in the new trail.
What to bring:
*Warm clothes (layers)
Sunscreen/chapstick
*Water
Snacks
*Sturdy, close toed shoes
Backpack to carry your things
*Long pants
Work gloves
*Eye protection (glasses, sunglasses - we will have some as well)
All tools and hard helmets will be provided.
I will be checking the AQI daily and make a decision the evening before.
If you have any questions, please post them below.
