Adopt-a-Trail Clean-Up Run (Sat, Sept 28th, 2024)

[Trevor?]

What great weather today. Thanks to everyone who participated. Devil's Canyon was pretty clean .... just your typical trigger trash mostly. Came across a few piles of smashed up bathroom tile that someone used for clay pigeons, but otherwise pretty good.

How was the Barbour Fork side?

I just realized I forgot to swing by the staging area of Barbour Fork and measure the rails on the jack leg fence. Did anyone over that way happen to get a measurement? I was gonna try to use a length of paracord and knot it at the length so I could measure it once I got home, but I guess i just went on autopilot and headed home.

heh - measurements were not on my mind either.

What great weather and people - a fine day well enjoyed.

Barbour Fork was very clean too, standard glass and shells mostly but nothing major to take out. The run was a little more eventful as we had a truck end up on its side at the first major obstacle (is this a first for a cleanup run? 😂) . I don’t have any photos as we were off in the spur cleaning a site when it happened, but I’m sure Louis will share his perspective 🙂. We were able to winch and get him upright with pretty minor damage considering the scenario.

The rest of the day went smooth and uneventful, though I did notice one of my tire valves was cracked and leaking air when airing up. Steve helped me throw on my spare at the gas station and we were good to go.

Yea great weather, great company, not too much trash which was nice to see. Got to the top of that main obstacle on Barbour, went back to get some photos of Louis coming up and the photos came out different than imagined lol

Ah, nice to see the Barbour Fork Undercarriage Maintenance Bay getting put to use.

`hope there was no broken glass or badly mangled body metal.
