SPRING 2011 WORK PARTY

Our Spring work party is scheduled for next Saturday, June 11.  Lets gather in the parking lot between 8:30 and 8:45 for a snack and short meeting.  We will start work at 9:00.  Please bring along a tool or 2 to assist with the type of work you would like to help with.  Some of the "fun" projects we have lined up this year include trimming the brush back from the road (bring pruning sheers), painting the bridges with preservative (brushes provided but bring brooms, flat shovel, dust pan, etc), trimming back fallen trees near the roads (bring a chain saw), cleaning rocks and debris out of culverts and ditches along the roads throughout CRR (bring shovels and 4- wheelers), gathering logs from road side that aren't suitable for chipping and moving them to the parking lot or dump (need a trailer and folks with strong backs) general trash clean-up along roads and more.

Lowell and Sheila Gill will be hosting a post-work potluck lunch.  The Association will provide hot dogs, pulled pork sandwiches and soft drinks.  Please bring a dish to share and chairs.

The road continues to be a bit of a challenge and will be pretty rough in places until we can make a few more repairs and have the road graded.  The lower slide area near lot 151 is passable by 4 wheel drive/ high clearance vehicles only.  The road immediately below the S-turn is soft and sandy and can be a challenge in a 2 wheel drive vehicle.  It is not an issue for 4 wheel drive vehicles.  If you are in a 2 wheel drive going up the hill, when you see the spot ahead, pick up a little more speed than the 10MPH you usually drive to get across the soft stretch and you should be fine.  Please use caution, especially if the road is wet. 

Thanks and I'll See You Saturday!
