Fall Adopt-a-Trail report.

[Hypoid]

Fourteen vehicles turned out today. Kudos to Brad, for taking the bull by the horns and getting this organized! Thanks to everyone who made it out!

I did not take many pictures today.

I took a few.

Darn. They did not rotate the right way

[Brad]

I had to run to Frisco after trail clean up so just got home. (I will explain that in another post)
First, thank you to everyone who helped out. It means a lot to the group to keep our trails clean! :thumb:
Second, David, we forgot one person in your party, PM me so we can add her to the papers before I turn them in.

I only took a few pictures, so here goes!

I apparently only take pics of my own. Sorry. I tried to get pics of others going through some spots, but they. Always got through before I could get ready.

I got a 5 gallon bucket worth of trash. Not bad I guess.

Good time!

[Jim]

Wish I could have been there (but I had a nice time with family today!). I am surprised there was no uniform snow covering - from the reports, I was expecting 1 to 2" covering all grass areas.

[TimW]

Had a great time today! It was nice to meet you all. Here are the pics that I took.

[The StRanger]

My camara batt died about 1/2 way through, But heres my pics. What Iv got of them.

Thanks to everyone who attended this. It's really a great cause and I know it's usually a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. Hope you all enjoyed your day. I hope to help out next year. sorry I couldn't make it this year.

[The StRanger]

Think I still have some to go through.

We missed you ..

[Brad]

We are going to have to shift this back to September next year. Snow made some spots rather sketchy, we did not take the long loop due to the snow and off camber area I did not want to risk sending multiple rigs into trees. Generally there is very little trash back there so we will get it in June.

[ExplorerTom]

We had some slippery spots on Barbour as well. No damage to report other than some occasional rock scrapes underneath. Seems like we only had slippery while climbing which I guess is better than coming down.

We found a windshield/back window in that large meadow with the horses. Someone was being dumb, did some donuts and rolled their rig. That was the only big piece we came across. I picked up lots of shotgun shells and wadding.

[KnuckleHead]

I lead the Barbour Fork group on this one... first time ever being at the front of the line. What a great group we had this round. No one left anyone behind and with our snowy trouble spots everyone was ready to help out if needed.. We ran the whole loop going up the big hill and around and I have to say WOW.. there was hardly and trash. We did pick up a lot of shells and at one spot it looked like someone might have rolled. There was a windshield, glass from maybe a door window and some cds. Other than that it was fairly clean. The trail has changed a bit but not to bad all made it with no winching or strapping. .. I do have to say there are some tight spots for a full size rig to squeeze through, lost count of all branches that came through my window.

I did get a few pictures and will get them posted up shortly.... again thanks to all that came out today..always nice to see new and old faces.

[The StRanger]

It was good to run with Happy. Had a fun time.
I love the new tire, Only sliped one time and that wasnt that bad !!!

[Chris]

Thanks to you all for your efforts!

[Jim]

Were there any members "riding along" with another member for the day (I'm updating wheeler badges via the posts in the thread)?

[ctracy5]

Looks like a great time, wish I could have made it but had way to much on my plate today and want to let all the new parts settle a little more before anything real wheeling.

[The StRanger]

Understand.

[Hypoid]

BTW Sam, did anyone take pictures of these alleged "cookies" I missed out on? :D

[The StRanger]

[Hypoid]

Wish I could have been there, looks like a good time. Thank you to all who made it.

[Patrolman]

Sorry for the late posting. My batteries were going dead, so all I got photos of was someones residence. I will get the GPS coordinates for Brad to send this in to Brant so they can take care of it.

[Jackie]

Sad.

In Pic #2, is there someone sleeping under that tarp (or whatever it is)?

[Patrolman]

It is a 2nd tent that has faller over a fire pit and is now partially covered in leaves. Clearly been abandoned a while. We didn't poke around in either tent. Just cleaned up the glass and stuff around the general area.

[AdventureReady]

Had a great time! :thumb: Sorry for only two pictures, my others were horribly out of focus.:frown:

[Jim]

I find it neat to look at the pix and say - I've been there - I know where that is!

[pictaker]

See Post below!:thumb:

[pictaker]

Brad, Thanks again for organizing this! We all had a blast, I agree, maybe a little earlier next year to avoid the snow, but a GREAT day nonetheless!

[pictaker]

Jeff, good meeting you on Saturday. Look forward to hitting some trails next year.

[06HokieTJ]

Great time. Nice meeting y'all. Sorry, didn't take many pics and can't load them from my phone. I'll try tomorrow.

[Java]

Good job everyone!! Thanks for the pics and report.

[94ToyBear]

Great time. Nice meeting y'all. Sorry, didn't take many pics and can't load them from my phone. I'll try tomorrow.

If you have a smart phone you can intsall an app. That will covert the JPEG pics to png and a few other formats. If you need more Iin for I started a thread in I belive that chat page about convetting pics. Otheres have great ways aswell..

Where in Englewood are you? We used to live at Hampden and Logan area. Still pass through there every day.

[06HokieTJ]

Out of curiosity... Does this count as wheeling and volunteering? Or is that double dipping?

[Jackie]

Good point. i would think both.

[Jim]

I went to check the "Badges" post... Yes, cleanup runs qualify for Volunteer badges. I'll get'm done in a bit.

Lets see if this works...

EDIT: Hey! It worked! The first pic I was yelling to Happy that he looked like a fat dog squeezing through the cat door... Lol

Ha. Sorry, didn't mean to create work. I just wanted to make sure I got my wheeler badge so y'all didn't kick me out... Saturday was fun :-)

[Jim]

No worries - it's all good.

[The StRanger]

Im glad to finally meet ya face to face !!!

[KnuckleHead]

LOL yeah that part of the trail is a little tight for full sized rigs. One of the trees that gave me some new pin stripping also gave me my first trail dent....

[The StRanger]

Realy. A little tight for a fullsize.
It was tight for the Ranger.
It was damn tight for you !!!
