I was thinking that on November 7th we should have a work party on Our adopted trail University Firepower. I haven't been on the trail since our poker run but I don't think that there should be that much trail damage with how dry the summer was. But now that we've finally had some rain we should get out there and see how the water bars are holding up. When we were there in May there was some extra mud in the water bars on the south side of the gated section. We can also pickup any trash that is in the area and do some brushing of the scotch broom "invasive weed" near the trail. At this time if ODF hasn't already closed the gates for the season we can make an educated decision on if we want to close them or leave them open for another couple of weeks. Let's get a good turn out for this and make this a short work day. Then we can go and play on the trails for a couple hours afterwards.
See you there! Daryl
I almost forgot this. 9am at Rogers camp!!! Be there!!! Lol

Do you want this to be the official Nov. club run? I have Nov's club run, so I was going to set up a run on the 14th to have a relaxing day at La Dee Flats. I haven't run that system yet, so I thought it would be fun to check out all the trails with a BBQ lunch in the middle and dinner afterward. Let me know.

I think that a relaximg day at LaDee Flats sounds like a great club run. I see no reason that we cant do both events.

Awesome! A Saturday that I just might be able to make I'm going to hold off on the cab swap until December, but I'll try and pull off this canopy so that we can throw trash and debris in

What time would we be leaving to come back? Or better... If we started the trails by noon, how long would it take to run them? Is it linear like Elbe?

But it's easy to get back onto the roads from the trails. Very much like the trails in the Yacolt Burn. So if you need to take off earlier it's usually not a big deal.

So, I'm telling my buddy about this cleanup next week, and inviting him to come help clean up tsf... and I write #pistonswild... Well, I clicked on it, and a really cool thing happened! A group on instagram named bowerpowerhourshow also added the hashtag to a photo! That's really cool! Sorry, I'm sure you already talked about this at the club meeting (which I sadly missed) but I thought it was cool that people are talking about us! Also wanted to use this post to generally share that I'm inviting people to come help with the cleanup Can't wait!

Phil, realize this is a "work" party not a play day and make sure whoever you bring with you is fully aware that we are going to TSF to work with our hands in the weather and mud. Bring shovels

Bring shovels umm... yeah man, I mentioned twice that I've been inviting people to come help with a "cleanup"... Not sure why you thought I'm inviting people for a play day... Big thumbs up from my end I'll probably bring gloves among other things... Not sure if I need to buy a shovel in order to come though?
