Mark your calendars! PNW Dirt Talk trail party 25 January at Tahuya. Meet at Elfendahl Pass Trailhead 8AM; riders meeting and then moving by 8:30. That gives us enough daylight to work a few hours and then get a rip in to enjoy the fruits of our labor!
Coordination is ongoing, but DNR and NMA are already tracking, as are River City MC, Bremerton Cruisers MC, and Tacoma MC. If the timing works out, we could have the NMA Heavy Maintenance Crew with the ST240 single track excavator out there for people to get a look at and get excited about. Still trying to see if that can happen.
This will primarily be a drive and walk work party, though we'll wrap up with lunch so you can get a few hours of riding in. Target location is going to be south across Hurd Rd. We'll have keys. Wear comfortable work/walk clothes and dress for the weather of course!
Suggested tools are trimmers, loppers, trail rakes, and a few pulaskis. I'll personally have a chainsaw, 2 sets of gas trimmers, folding saw, machetes, Macleods, a Max Axe toolset, and 3 semi-feral children to throw at the trails.
Oh, and I'll have a grill. River City MC is going to provide lunch! So if you're coming, please sign up and please reach out so I can get a rough tally for grocery shopping the day before!
As always, I'm very much open to suggestions on locations and organizations to work with on the PNW Dirt Talk "trail program" or whatever we're calling it. One a month, the more new places the better. Right now low land riding in WA is almost certainly limited to Walker Valley, Tahuya, and Green Mountain for the public stuff and Shelton Dirt Rider for private. What else have ya got?
If you feel like taking the lead or co-lead of any future event, I'd love to share the responsibility and the work...and your energy!
