So I guess it's about time to file my report on the event...
So I rolled on up there at about 11.00p on Thursday night, Brett set up his tent and I slept in the Jeep (was too lazy to deal with the tent, plus with most of the gear in the M416 it was REALLY easy). In the morning we got up and set up camp, emptied the 416, and put the necessary trail gear in the Jeep.
As we were doing this Brendon showed up to Serrano. I was periodically calling out on channel 4 on the radio to see if anybody was up there, didn't get any bites. I wasn't too concerned though as I've done this just about every year and nobody ever answers, I guess everybody doesn't monitor 4 like I do
. Also while doing that I got a call from Tim saying he was running a bit late and would meet us at 2N04 and 38.
So we jump in, start our engines, and high tailed it out of Serrano (the usually 10 MPH long drive!). We got to the Ranger station to find one TJ in the parking lot, that TJ was a Waywego waiting for another member of his club for some John Bull maintenance. We waited around until about 9.15 and hit it. This was the lowest turnout of a
trail maintenance day ever, we had four rigs with seven people total.
Since we were so busy with the maintenance we didn't get many pictures in the process. The trail was in mostly good shape with the usual lopping going on and some drains we had to stack rocks in. There was a lot of trash near highway 38 with some plywood, general trash, and five tires (one of which was a 70 pound monster ancient BFG with wheel). The M416 came in real handy as we had that thing full of trash.
