Should be scheduled for the 3rd Saturday of every month (Jan 24- Per Terry, Feb 21, March 21). These are heavy workdays where we usually get a good bit of work done.
On our trail (Dutch John), our major area of concern is the long log crossing right before the big hill climb near the end of the trail. The bridge is in need of repair. After conversing with Terry, she wants us to remove the bridge like we did to the other two last year and fill them in with rock.
I know we can get the bridge removed in one work day. The next few we can concentrate on filling/armoring it like we did last year. The biggest problem here is that there isn't a whole lot of rock right nearby. Snappy has volunteered the use of his Humvee style trailer but we'd need a rig to pull it with. Does anyone want to volunteer to do that? I know Nick H and I both don't have trailer hitches. The trailer uses a pintle hook attachment for a 2" receiver and Snappy has the attachment. We just need to provide a good rig setup for towing.
Figured I'd start this early so we don't have to listen to Chuzie moan about the lack of advance warning. The first day is 1.5 months away. It is a good time. We aren't slave drivers. Come on out even if you don't have an off-road vehicle. We can provide an empty seat to get out there and back.
For those new to the work days, they go from 9am to 2-3pm. Lunch is usually provided. Please bring warm clothes, boots, gloves, water and a snack or two. We will be out in the woods. A few things to help us out would be a crow bar or two (4+ ft long). Hopefully Clay can bring his battery powered cutoff wheel. I know Snappy has already started a 'build thread' on NC4x4 for his Brunswick stew that he is doing in Jan. We meet at the Eldorado Outpost between 8:30am-8:45am here:
4021 N Carolina 109, Troy, NC 27371
It will be kind of hard to miss the early Broncos. They usually draw a crowd
Please plan to attend one or more if you can. We'd love to have you and can use all the help we can get. Quick disclaimer- we will be there even if it is cold. If it is raining, we will plan to skip the day. If you have any questions on attendance a day or 2 before a work event, feel free to PM me.
