November 11 4WDABC Sunrise/Hale Work Party
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://bb.bc4x4.com/showthread.php?t=103210
On this Saturday, November 11, the Four Wheel Drive Association of British Columbia will be holding our monthly Sunrise Lake/Hale Creek maintenance run. We meet at 9:30am at the Sasquatch Inn (approximately 30kms east of Mission on Hwy 7) and depart from there at 10:00 (SHARP!). This month we will be heading to the Hale Creek recreation site to perform initial site upgrades under the newly signed agreement we hold in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism, Sports and the Arts. The Hale Creek site is accessible by any stock 4x4 vehicle and all are welcome to attend.
The Ministry is providing us with a number of picnic tables, fire rings, bear-proof garbage bins, signs and a new outhouse for the site (and in fact has delivered some of this gear to the site already), but we need YOUR help this weekend!!!! We'll be building 5-6 picnic tables, installing fire-rings to go with the tables and building/installing the new outhouse. While there is a possibility that the contractor engaged by the Ministry (who will be on site on Saturday to deliver the remaining supplies) will be able to transport a backhoe to the site to help, this has not been confirmed. The contractor's initial inspection of the roads resulted in some reluctance to bring a machine down to the site due to poor road conditions -- and therefore we may need to hand-dig a hole for the sealed-sump culvert outhouse. Please bring gloves and a shovel!!!!!!!
Upon completion of the Hale Creek work effort, we will proceed to Sunrise Lake for end-of-season cleanup of that site.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to drop me a note.
See you on Saturday!
