  • Corral Canyon Clean Up 2

    I didnt make the first clean up but will try to attend the second clean up.

    Heres some info.

    [roll]340[/roll]

    Corral Canyon continues to recover from the Horse Fire and the main gate
    has been open since the end of February. Use has been moderate to high on
    weekends and the good news is that the vast majority of visitors are having
    fun while playing by the rules. We have had a very small number of clueless
    riders trespass into the burn area and due to the high level of
    surveillance and law enforcement all have been apprehended before doing any
    real damage to the soil stabilization measures going on in the burned
    areas. Please pass the word that we are working to get the burned areas
    stabilized and that the area has to remain undisturbed so we can reopen it
    as soon as possible. If the area is further damaged by off-roaders who
    trespass into it, reopening will be delayed and since most of the funding
    we have has time limits attached to it reopening could be delayed
    indefinitely if we get behind schedule. We need everyoneGÇÖs help to keep our
    reopening efforts on schedule. Please remind everyone you can to protect
    motorized access to public land by following the rules, staying on
    designated trails and taking good care of their recreation resources.


    Next Volunteer work day GÇô 04/21/2007

    The second phase of the re-opening process is gearing up and we are moving
    forward with the work. Trails Unlimited has finished replacing the tread
    and repairing the drainage on all the trails we needed them to fix. The
    materials for the second phase of work will be delivered next week so I am
    asking for any interested volunteers to come out to Corral Canyon on
    Saturday April 21st for another work day. Bring your work clothes/gear and
    plan to meet at Bobcat Campground at 9:45 am. Most of the effort will be
    focused on the fencing that needs to be installed. We are planning to work
    until 4:30 pm so bring a lunch if you want to spend the whole day with us.


    I want to take another opportunity to thank everyone who has helped in the
    effort to reopen Corral Canyon so far. It is great to be working with such
    proactive people who understand the value of their off-road resources and
    are willing to step up and do what it takes to keep the Corral Canyon OHV
    area open for the enjoyment of all. You are great examples of the kind of
    people it will take to ensure the future of areas like Corral Canyon.

    Thanks

    Email me with questions otherwise I will see you there!

    I would REALLY love to go on Saturday. Unfortunately, I have to be back in the Cucamonga area in the late afternoon. I wouldn't be much help.

    This is one area that I want to explore. Sidewider and Bronco Peak caught my attention from the Charles Wells book. It's great that the FS is trying to get the area back in use.

    I hope it has a great turn out on Saturday!

      Two great efforts on the same weekend (scenic trail route and CorraL), and I can't make either one. Vern, I'd love to help out down there. Can you post again when there is another clean up please?

      Thanks,
      Kurt

        Well as with everyone else I'm hoping my work schedule will free me up to get out there to pitch in and see some ole friends.

        Were going to suggest a few new trails since now opportunities can be visually seen.

        But not counting on those new trails though....

          Well I made it out to the clean up, Total of 3, Marco , Russ and me. Richard Tull had 2 other ranger dudes on ATC's opening up the gateslocked downed areas.

          It rained the night before, the supplies , fencing and posts didnt arrive (coming in from east coast. Federal cost down program. current fencing costs was about 100,000$) Fencing why? Keep illegal off roading out of burned areas and to show the green folk were doing our part to keep them out. Funding is really in jeopardy for these type programs but fire restoration has some funding.

          Ok we didnt do much but Richard pointed out how we can get in some new trails ..but with a cost. Enviormental studies will need to be done. Thats another story worth reviewing. Learned a lot on that subject today.

          Richard joined us today trailing up Bronko peak. The ground was wet, which made things very interesting. We even put him in a jeep ..in a bad place.
