FD survey and possible work weekend July 25-27
The FOF will be escorting a group of 6 forest service personnel in to the proposed mile 6.25 re-route area for a second look on Friday July 25th. We could use a few more rigs with open seats so if you can make it please let me know. Of course we always welcome friends to come along even if you can not carry an extra person. After looking at that area we are planning on taking a look at our proposed Committee Trail re-route as well. If approved we can start clearing it out Saturday. It's a short re-route and could be done in one day if we get enough people willing to show up on the chance we get the go ahead. There is an excellent chance Joe Chavez will give us the OK. We will post up on the Pirate Board Friday evening with the outcome.
Please let me know if you would like to participate.
In addition to our public relations contact, Joe Chavez we will be taking a:
Botanist
Wildlife Biologist
Archaeologist
Recreation Planner
We will also be taking our new Tahoe Forest Supervisor, Tom Quinn in for a ride.
Take this opportunity to help out and meet Tom and the personnel that are working to keep our access to the Fordyce trail alive.
We will meet at Cisco Grove campground Friday at 10 am.
If you are planning on attending please contact me at
