Veteran's weekend , Los Padres Adopt A Trail clean up

I'm out till sunday day tripper , just to dam cold for me, the thought of people in there red thonges, chicken white legs with the turtle effect, mite burn or ruin my aging eyes. I'll call ranger station around 8 ,8:30 to see if there is any changes to weather report that rich posted. unloading trailer back to storage.
Bill are you still going up Sunday? Its windy and freezin up there!!!
 
as of right now yes I will be going up tomorrow, trieing to get a hold of someone up there. will post if not going.
 
All in all we had a great trip! We got a lot of clean up done, some good trail time and once again got to hang out with some great people. It was a little chilly for sure but we made the best of it. How many other groups can you go with that breaks three rides and still have a great time? I'll post up the pics I have shortly.

Larry, if those are the kind of people you have on your friends list you'll have a request from soon! hahahaha
 
What a great weekend with great folks!! Thanks to all who came out for your free labor, support and killer trail work!!
Big thanks to RICH for putting this together and planning out the work for the trail!!

I'm just gonna say it now, because I can't help myself......
Big Rock in the trail = 1
Rich's RZR = 0
He can fill you in on the details.

It was a bit cold and we got some white stuff..

It was a great time. We did do a lot of trail management and went on a fun ride. I do have a new respect for the Polaris ranger. Man that thing can tow anything from tree branches on the ground to a rzr. Chris you did a great job maneuverimg down the hill:D thank you rich for organizing this trip. I look forward to our next adventure
 
So I broke the exhaust header Saturday and Rich pulled me back to camp to avoid bending one or both exhaust valves. We made a big and successful effort to get the Short Bus back on the road for Sunday and boy am I glad we did. I'm not sure how we'd have gotten Rich's rod off Miller without it:)

Here we are freshly loaded up with our little experiment.

Jim and Mike ferried the trailer out with help from Grumpy and Larry. This is how it rode back to civilization and sits tonight until we can make proper repairs.

The kids all jumped in as needed, and they sure were, Mariah fed us when we got back and Sharon kept Big A out of the way and trouble (including helping her lick rocks I heard) while we were making ready. It took the whole group and everyone jumped right in there to help, even the teenager didn't complain:D:D

Saturday we meet at the Ranger station to find out what things might be needed to be done on the trail and was informed that some of the signs could use a face lift (new stickers ) so we put that in on the to do list .Big or small we get it done . :D
