Pine Valley trail clearing and cleanup was held on July 19th through July 21st. Riders that helped clear trails were Dennis Serpa, Julia Heller, Jim and Chris Westmoreland, John Marshall, Vicki Morales, Joe Hoover, Nancy Marquardt, Sandy and Evan Rahilly, Julie and I. On Saturday we started out shortly after 8 am and worked until 3pm. Plenty of bottled water was available for everyone. The day consisted of making 45 cuts and removing downed logs from the trail.
Our unit supplied meals for the three day event. Our unit trailer was pulled up to the camp by Vicki Whisler. She and Dave Rumsey teamed up to cook up the best meals ever provided for a work party.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner was served on Saturday. Lunch meats and snacks were placed on the table at breakfast time and everyone made their own. On Saturday night Dave smoked up 5 tri-tips. We actually fed 22 people that night including two forest security guards that help keep our road open at the Pine Valley turn off.
There were other people that joined up to clean the Pine Valley camp while we were out clearing paths on the mud lake loop. They were Bob Magee, Dave Rumsey, Vicki Whisler and Julia’s boyfriend Paulo. They did a great job piling up all the debris around trees so that campers wouldn’t have to rake up or trip over them. We had great participation from the unit. The road to Pine Valley is in excellent condition and ready for you to enjoy.
