First post updated with details.

How much highway driving is involved?

 

[GSequoia]

How much highway driving is involved?

Drive from the Discovery Center to 2N04 is about twelve miles. Drive back could be a few less.

2N49 isn't really tow rig friendly as it's a 17 mile trail that starts at Silverwood and ends in San Bernardino.

 

[JohnX]

I should be there.

 

[Carol.92124]

Thanks for the reminder. I updated the Facebook page and failed to update this page.

We will be camping out of the Adopt A Trail North Shore Workcenter. This is located at the USFS North Shore Campground in Arrowhead, you do not need to make any official reservations but please let us know if you plan to camp with us.

[mako my day]

I can't make it, but can I donate to cover food costs?

 

[peterjford]

I will be in the area after lunch time on Saturday, camping Saturday night and working on Sunday.

I got gloves, hat, and 3 different sized gardening loppers and 1 set of hedge trimmers, so if anyone needs to borrow some I will bring them all.

Is anyone bringing dogs? I won't be bringing mine, they can be two handfuls to control if there are any other dogs around. Just wanted to know if AAT Workdays are "dog friendly" in case I can bring someone to watch them in the future.

 

[GSequoia]

Yes, provided the dogs are not overly aggressive toward people or other dogs we have no problem with dogs at any of our maintenance days or wheeling trips. Of course meet and greets, etc., may have different rules depending on the venue.

 

[JohnX]

So if I'm too aggressive I can't go? You can't go changing the rules on me now.

 

[karstic]

Dogs, John. Dogs.

This weekend, folks!

For those of you coming up for camping Friday night head to North Shore Campground in Lake Arrowhead. When you drive into the campground you'll see a fork to your right heading to the Work Center, this is where we are camping. Those of you who are joining us on Friday please post up here so we know to look out for you.


Also if you have a 2 meter radio we'll be monitoring 146.585. I'll also monitor CB channel 4 if anybody is lost.


Saturday morning we meet at 9:00 at the Big Bear Discovery Center. Those joining us in the evening to camp and volunteer Sunday can meet us at North Shore as well, same story as above.

There *is* cell signal in camp. In fact I'll be doing some server work Friday night from camp.

 

[rockclimber]

I have to bail on this weekend. work is not letting me go.

 

[karstic]

I can't make both days. Will be camping Saturday night and probably helping on Sunday.
