FOS
Work Day Report from August 27th, Lora Conrad -Coordinator
Thanks
to volunteers Ann Bennett, Judy & Art Duke, Marsha & Bob
Achenbach, Pam Larson, Shirley Mulligan, Ringo and Brenda Covert,
Alice Dobbs, Randy Dillon and Ray & Lora Conrad and DNR staff
John Byrd and Frank Boyer for your work at our FOS Volunteer Day on
August 27th. The upper campground looked wonderful when we left
and much had been done. The campsites had been carefully
cleaned of all manure and debris, several tables had been cleaned and
painted, all the new posts in the campground, along the road and even
over in the primitive campground not in Lick Creek had been painted.
Six boards were installed in the upper campground stalls, and extra
lag bolts put in several other boards, the wire in three sections of
the pen was taken down and new wire installed, three gates were hung
better so hopefully they will not fall off anytime soon, and string,
ropes etc were removed. Some additional gate hanging and
related pen repairs were also done at the lower campground.
That area had also been cleaned by volunteers on Sunday.
So--I've
never seen the entire place looks so good in the 12 years I've lived
here. With all of the hard work by John and crew on the trails
and all your hard work on volunteer days---and no
flooding---Shimek is really looking good. In addition, Ann and
Shirley took off bags and bags of recyclables too!
