  • CRT

    There appears to be a movement afoot (heh heh) to walk the Clackamas River Trail and do some work this weekend, with some indication it'll be Saturday. My preferred day is Saturday anyway.

    I have not been up to see it by I understand there's a lot of blowdown, slough and washouts that need serious saw and shovel and Pulaski attention. But I don't even know which end is the worst, nor do I know which end has already received some attention. I am hoping someone will post something about that and maybe we can get some bodies up there to get some stuff done. Donovan?

    So post up here if you are interested in meeting for some work on the CRT on Saturday, or maybe some other day.

  • Simon, I am in for Saturday to do the CRT. The west end has been cut out for about 2 miles as of Jan 21, but others may have worked on it since then. There is alot of shoveling to do at the washouts and some rerouting to do at the big washout just past the burn. I don't think anyone has even looked at the east end at Indian Henry, for it was still snowed in a couple of weeks ago.

    • S0 let's go in at the East end and at least get it passable of blowdowns that we can handle and if that's alredy done when we get up there we can turn shovels and Pulaskis to the slogh and washouts.

      Give me or Ryan a jingle Thursday night so we can fill you in.

      Adventure Bob and Holey One, you in?

      Come on, don't be a candy ass.

      • Oh my ass is butter-rum lifesavers.  Deliteful.

        Man oh man I'm up to my ears in new engine pieces.  I can't leave town until I finish this fiasco, every free second is spent working on that thing.  1 month of work now, getting there though.  It's gonna be purty.

        I miss the woods, and seeing all you fine Advocates.  I even bought some Hamms a couple days ago, but I was sobbing too much to really enjoy it. Or maybe it was the aluminum flavor.

    • Sawed on it some today. Saturday we'll have several saws out and I'll probably stay at the slides and pick away at them.
      We are sawed out to just above the second switchbacks, about 2 1/2 miles in. Fairly well picked up to the cedar flat. Beyond that it's trashed.
      Not worried about the east end at this time. Just want to get to Pup Creek. Trail at the falls is tooth-picked.
      We'll get it fixed, but it will take a while. Some extra help would be nice, but we will get done regardless, like we always do.

      • So it is little stuff and a two and a half mile in from the East end? You going to meet us up there Sat morning? I am planning on staying up there Friday night. Little saw or big saw?
