Sounds like Saturday morning. If anyone wants to come up and has a team (1 cutter with saw, and 1 thrower) I'll be happy to be your tour guide. 10AM. There is a race going on Saturday there so look for us in the upper camping loop. :D

I'll see about my schedule with my little one......if I can make it I will be a thrower because my saw is way too big to carry on a bike unless we are planning to hike in. I should be able to find out later today.

Hunter Valley road is the turn off just before Fallen Timber camp ground correct?

Upper camping loop is in the Fallen Timber campground.

I'm thinking of making the Saturday Moose Mountain race my first HS. However, if I decide against that (i.e. chicken out), I will be out to help on Saturday.

My apologies, I double booked myself for Saturday and forgot I was riding out in Mclean tomorrow. I am definitely at your disposal for any more volunteer work in the future and I will make every possible effort to help out the cause. Sorry.

Thanks to all of the usual volunteers and one first time volunteer who helped with the trail clearing Saturday.

We had 4 teams and accomplished our mission. Remember to thank these guys when you get a chance because everyone on the list busted their butt to open some singletrack and start the process of getting this trail on the Ghost designated trail map. :applause:

Now who wants to build a 20m bridge in the next week or two?

...on a weight loss mission and titanium parts are soooo expensive. Carrying bridge parts will be just the ticket :smirk: . In town until the week of the 23rd and will watch the posts. :cheers:

A super big thanks to everybody. It was a great day. Kudos to JKnight, guy worked like a dog. And Dobi..."anybody seen Dobi" "Yeah he's about 1/2 a click up ahead and on a mission" He was hard to keep up with, probably could star in the next Texas Chainsaw flick :smirk: . Big thanks again! These wonderful old trails are great to have again. :thumbsup: :cheers:
