Just a reminder that I will be leading the work party this weekend on behalf of
NWTA and ODF in the Tillamook State Forest this Saturday (9:30am-2pm).  We will
be focused on brushing the portion of the Wilson River Trail from Keenig Creek
towards the west.  This work is very much needed prior to the Tour de Tillamook
campout weekend.  We will also be installing trialhead signage.
 
Afterwards, I will be doing a ride on Sickter Lars that will include some
additional brush work.  And, then on to Reheer's Camp for a fun ride on the
newly legalized downhill trail.  There are also lots of opportunities to ride
afterwards either on the Wilson River Trail, Storey Burn Trail, Historic Hiking
Trail, Triple C Trail, Gales Creek Trail (portions that are still open that is),
and the other mountain bike accessible trails - could even drive over to the
Outback Trail in Mountain Bike Area #2 in the Coal Creek area near Nehalem if
you wanted to ride and campout for the weekend (I can give directions to you if
you wanted to do this).
 
Think of this as a mini-Tour de Tillamook!
 
Plan to meet at the Tillamook Forestry Center at 9:30am.  RSVP on the NWTA
website at http://nw-trail.org/node/1354.  Carpools can be arranged using the
comment area on the website.
 
Bring clothing appropriate for working outside (including work gloves, close toe
shoes, long pants), sunscreen, food/water adequate for your personal needs, and
your bike if you plan to ride afterwards.  You may also consider bringing the
following tools if you have them: gas powered weed eater (will need to have the
spark arrester on it; and need to have appropriate protective clothing to
operate it during the work party), lopers, and pruners.
 
Thanks and hope to see you Saturday!
Ryan K.
