Access: Take Hwy 2 to mile marker #195.7 and turn

cabin. Turn right here and camp near the cabin.

Description: We will be packing in a crew from
the Bob Marshal Foundation and also helping them with some of
the initial clearing. The trail that we will be packing them
in on is trail # 382 starting where it takes off from the
Skyland Road and going up until it intersects with Trail # 251
where they will set up camp. Packing is about 4 miles each
way with moderate elevation gain and good trail most of the
way. We could also use riders to help place some signs, do
some trail marking and clearing on #382 as it follows the
ridge North toward the Park and some good heads to engineer
what needs to be done next year to fix some boggy spots on
#251. There are lots of trails in this area and we will need
lots of help to get it all done. |
|
Trails: There are several trails in this area
some are more difficult than others. Please ask group leader
for more information about a specific trail. |
|
Please note: We will pack in BMF on Saturday,
potluck on Saturday night and either work or ride on Sunday
and pack out the BMF on Monday. We will need 4-5 packhorses
and most clearing can be done with a chainsaw. |
