I’ve mentioned it before and will again. Instead of jumping right in and adopting a trail, and since all the trails are already sponsored any ways, lets try to have a club presence at some of the regular work days. We all have other things going on in our lives and I’m sure there will be times when people will have other things going on that will come before picking up someone else’s beer cans on the trials of URE. And, the only real advantage I see to officially adopting a trail is that you get your name an a little plaque at the trail head - BFD!.
The nice thing about the workdays is that people don’t have to choose between just one or two dates, they hold work days about once a month so if we could get just a few CB members (even just 1 or 2) at each work day instead of trying to narrow our choices down to a couple of days a year, I think that would go a long way to show our commitment to the forest and keeping the trails open. I’m not really sure how it all works, but I believe the more people you have at a work day, the more hours the Rangers can turn in which increases the budget amount for further trail maintenance and upgrade projects.
Once the workday dates are posted, lets start a thread of who’s coming and when and if JayT doesn’t mind keeping contact with the rangers to let them know CB4X4 will be there I really think that would be as good as adopting a trail.
