July 13th trail hike
I will be hiking up daniel from the parking lot to rocky mountain loop and back to the parking lot to pick up trash. I've talked to a friend that I work with that has a 4x4 quad who will pull the trailer that mark hall built and donated to unf to use for trail maintence. the trail looked alot cleaner than any other trail i was on last weekend but there was still some litter. some new some we missed. there is some fencing to repair and probably some new to put up. but i'm going to try to delay that until sept. when its cooler then do a big work day type thing. but i'd like to hike the trail at least once a month before that keeping it as trash free as we can. I'm not planning to ride or camp that weekend. I will be attending todds house party probably and cruising down to unf from there sunday morning to hike the trail. i would appreciate any company and help. probably meet about 9am. trevor if you will not be able to attend i will need to get the trash bags from you.

Re: July 13th trail hike
Well........ Kiersten (8years old)and I hiked and picked up trash on
Daniel alone today. Kinda sucked. we hiked all the way to rocky
mountain loop and back. we started at 9am picking up trash in the
parking lot and filled up a bag there. then started up the hill and
by the top are bag was full again and we left a bunch of trash on the
hill. (Looks like a land fill down the side of the mountain) we
cached the full bag and continued on filling another bag almost to
full to carry on the way out to rocky mountain loop where we cached
it. from the top of the hill to rocky mountain loop does not look to
bad. we picked up about a quarter of a bag on our way back. at the
top we picked up our cached bag and i staggered to the bottom of the
hill with the huge trash bag stuffed with trash. then we cached it
again and went and got the truck. you all ever want to have some fun
drive a full size stocker up that clay hill wet. it was all
horsepower and uglieness. got the trash and slid out to the parking
lot. if it wasn't for the nerf bars on my truck i would have suffered
major body damage sliding back down that clay hill i bounced off the
wall on either side twice and a tree on the passenger side. but the
nerf bars got the brunt of it and saved the body from any damage.
then we had to go around to rocky mountain loop and drag in over
those huge errosion burms to the intersection of daniel and rocky
mountain loop and picked up the 3rd huge bag of trash. but anyway
kiersten and I logged 10 man hours and picked up 3 huge bags of
trash. We could really have used some help. Tell me what i have to do
to get it. We adopted this trail as a group we need to maintain it as
a group. The hill is really messed up if you look over the edge all
you can see is trash. there is some fencing to do also. I do not want
to have to do it alone or with just kiersten helping. now who can
make it up on august 10th to help clean the hill? it has to be a
group effort.
