Adopt A Trail Hours

[karstic]

We don't need to spend a whole weekend doing trail maintenance. I would rather not.

Last weekend I was in Big Bear. Saturday I worked on Holcomb, we camped Sat night and Sunday we explored some new trails and grabbed a few caches.

It was a good weekend, a little bit of work and a little bit of play.

Onyx Loop / Pontiac Sluice (speaking of has that been officially closed yet?).

:dunno: was it ever officially open?

Yup, just not very well marked

There was a proposed wilderness area that cut through the sluice and loop thus closing it off. I was wondering if that happened as it was just when things started to get real creative with me.

Let's rephrase that, was it ever officially recognized? There are miles and miles of old mining roads and skid trails that have never been recognized as official routes, Pontiac MAY be one of those.

The proposed wilderness is still there.

It may or may not be part of some of the Wilderness bills that are in Congress at the moment.

There may be some private land issues that involve our "friends" in Pipes Canyon.

Awww. Poor guys.



I so want to be part of a restore Pipe's Canyon work day! I remember taking that road *almost* to Big Bear a week after the 1992 Landers & Big Bear earthquakes, we were stopped by a large (10' x 5' x 3') boulder in the middle of the road.

Unfortunately it's in private hands and I doubt they will ever reopen it to public, vehicle use again.

These are the hours that the various Adopt a Trail clubs have volunteered this past year (FY 07-08). The fiscal year ends September 30.

Private hands and a group of folks on the extremetly more radical side of the SC. I got chased off of the property while mtn biking down to Pioneer town not so many years back...

Good times.

I participated in that clean-up and it (SoCal Fest) was my first outing after joining . You guys are awesome and would be great if we could support the AAT program more. If it would make it easier and increase attendance, I could put people up over-night at my cabin in Big Bear w/ some wheeling and maybe a BBQ afterwards. Just a thought I'd throw out there.

Nice to see ya talkin out there Chuck set something up and we will be there we can run BB anytime and maintain those trails.....SANTA
