Holcomb Creek Trail???

[Red Heep]

Any idea if this trail will ever be opened again? Never had the pleasure of rocking this trail. --Damon

MJR is working very hard to get the trail back in to useable shape. It should be open in July 2011.

Awesome. What could we do to help?

Sign up to join our AAT group and come help us work the trail. We can always use good people with a willingness to get dirty for a good cause.

Hey, I'm on the roster and will be there Sunday, there's 1 view.

Who was it just telling Nick to think positive?

Kurt, Red Heep asked what he could do to help and you answered him, so that's one!

[RAT]

I am still being positve. But the fact remains...

[Jason]

Sorry Kurt. I try not to reply "I can't make it". It get old. Jeep is giving ignition issues and that Rottweiler I told you about is being picked up by a rescue org this Sat and I need to be around for that.
But soon.

I'm in Kurt- I'm fat enough to count for 1.25 people, and I'll be there for both days. Bring your gloves

[COLOR="sienna"] Just a couple of points about volunteering for MJR Adopt-a-Trail to help on Holcomb Creek, that perhaps not everyone is aware of:

It's pretty easy to volunteer. Just use your control panel and request to join the Adopt-a-Trail group! Ta-Da!

Not everything we do requires strenuous work. Although we do have some very major projects remaining on Holcomb to remedy before the trail will be reopened, there are plenty of tasks which don't make you sore the next day. Cutting back of brush, raking the limbs and sticks from fallen trees off the trail for example. We still need to resurface and paint the trail signs also. These less intensive tasks are also a great way to get your kids into the forest. Something to think about.

We do need your help! Holcomb has been closed for over three years now. We truly need to get this trail opened again, and we can only do that with your help. Our Adopt-a-Trail roster is well stocked, but for some reason we usually end up with the same six to eight people every time. It's understood that people's schedules are sometimes not conducive to volunteering. In this economy people are working harder than ever; but we have to get more than just the usual suspects out on the trail. Hoping to get our volunteer numbers into the 20's for each date, it seems we need to get the word out more.

Nick, I've sort of been a weekday crew member. Since I'm retired, working during the week seems to be better for me. I've sent four days working for Ryan & Russ on the veggie crew in the last month. I also posted that I'm available this Thursday for Hotshot crew transportation. I guess what I'm saying is that although I have not been able to do a weekend work day yet, I'm not a dead beat!

[COLOR="sienna"]Roger,
We're in need of more volunteers on our roster. As you've stated, many can't make it on the weekends. If we get more people involved to get the trail opened, the better the chances are that more people will be available on any given day. Dead beat?? Absolutely not! You're a workhorse my friend and I'm happy any day I see you on the trail with us!
This thread is a public notice that we're looking for anyone interested in volunteering to help. [/COLOR]
