Spring 2020 Peters Mill OHV Trail Status (1 Viewer)

[1MOA]

Thank you @StaleAle for being the go to on this one.

 

[StaleAle]

Big THANK YOU! to 1MOA and MyLandy for showing up and making a difference.

Alexy got in and out, having to only deal with one grenaded gearbox in his 40, and Greg lost a fight with a can of spray paint. Fortunately, we didn't have to airlift him off the trail. However he was seeing blaze orange there for awhile. Greg, we hope everything is looking better, for you today, literally.

Thanks guys, it was beautiful weather and we got a little mud on the tires so all in all it was a great day.

How many did we have turn out? Only 3?

Yup, just the three of us, and I only count as 1/2 because I'm so broken down and gimpy.

 

[StaleAle]

You missed the chance to try out your new chainsaw skills and cert.

That's a pretty poor turn out for us being such a large club... I hope we can endeavor to do better with our trail maintenance commitment.

@StaleAle Got the orange off and all is well, thanks for asking.

 

[StaleAle]

Yeah, 4 no shows. Was slightly embarrassing with the WATR guys buying us lunch. I told them 5 or 6 assuming we'd lose 2. There was a lot of food left over.

Jeez.... should've blamed COVID19 as the scare

Honestly thats why I missed it. It was an off week having to move a bunch of work stuff all week was nuts and more or less quarantined inside as the trail clean up was going on... small covid outbreak on my block at home actually. Weird times.

So it seems we can't even socially distance ourselves on Peters Mill / Little Fort Campground

That sucks. My son was planning a camping trip up to Elizabeth furnace.

Would that mean FlagPole is closed too?

Peter's Mill/Little Fort would be closed anyway due to the trail conditions. That's why they wouldn't let us do our annual clean-up on Peter's Mill. Too much water damage.

nope....wide open...

I forget- Do we need a permit to drive on flagpole? Or was it taskers gap? Wanted to head out today actually... but it looks like next weekend should work...

Flagpole does not require a permit. Taskers/Peters Mill Run does.
