frank Wilderness 101 trails and work - 2007/07/27 21:24 Adam and I spent this morning brushing out the top of Croyle and cutting a ride around out near the widow maker trees. There was a section lower down that could stand some trimming, but I wasn't up for my fourth up and down the trail so it will just have to be.

I was hoping to rally the troops for some last minute grooming of Telephone and both sides of Sassafras. The plan is to meet at Wheelworks at 5:30 and then head to the woods. Beer will be provided. Limited trail tools are available as well, so if you have anything to bring (lopers, machete, etc...) please do. Please email me at frank @ mtnittanywheelworks.com if you can make it.

I will get to Little Poe on Tuesday Am. I do't think the grand plan of running the DR mower on Lonberger and Little Shingletown is going to come to fruition, mostly because of time constraints.

frank Re:Wilderness 101 trails and work - 2007/07/29 19:29 Since Rodney reports that Little Poe is in good shape, I am going to spend Tuesday AM trying to get Lonberger and (if time permits) Little Shingletown prepped. There are at least three of us so far for Tuesday AM (9:30-noon-ish) but the more the merrier. IF you can make it out, bring water and a leaf rake. The plan is to run two Weed eaters/Brush Cutters and have someone follow each cleaning as we go.
By the way, I am going to head out to Dotterer's tomorrow and pick up one of these:

Demon of the Fall Re:Wilderness 101 trails and work - 2007/07/30 09:44 Little Shingletown was clear of deadfall yesterday. The grass is a little long in places but there is nothing dangerous hidden.

The big tree down on Greenlee Mountain road will not affect racers as there is plenty of room to get around. A section of it is cut and a vehicle can get around it but the road is being widened where vehicles have passed. Drivers should stop and get out to clear any branches that are in the way before driving.

My question is, when is DCNR going to get out and clear this tree from the road? Maybe they are backed up from the 1 day of work they were furloughed? This tree has been down for a few weeks. It really is a shame they don't clear it.

frank Re:Wilderness 101 trails and work - 2007/07/30 14:56 Forestry will be opening the gate, so we are meeting at the camp on lonberger on Tuesday at 9:30. Also, Fred Handel is going to be running a DR mower on Wednesday on Little Shingletown. Anyone free to help with that?
