A total of seventeen wonderful Volunteers and Forester John Byrd met at the Lick Creek Upper Campground on a beautiful crisp, sunny morning to attack the overgrown trails, cleanup the campgrounds, fill gravel potholes, and prep cans and bottles to recycle. Volunteers were: Marsha and Bob Achenbach, Linda and Bill Fiordelise, Neal Hartman, Bob Bender, Marilyn Harris, Don Harris, Bonnie and Doug Moothart, Judy and Art Duke, Pam Larson, Wayne Long, Jo Watson, Pam Ball and Lora Conrad.
John Byrd made assignments as Volunteers gathered.
John explains to Bill and Linda Fiordelise where to put rock in potholes with the dump truck. They were assisted by Art Duke.
Pam Larsen and Jo Watson set off to clean out firepits and stalls at both campgrounds.
Judy Duke and Pam Larson tackle sorting and bagging cans and bottles at both campgrounds for recycling.
John asked Wayne Long and Marilyn Harris to walk trails with a saw on a weedeater engine and loppers, trimming back limbs and multi-flora.
Neal Hartman and Bob Bender rode out on some rougher trails and cut off downed trees. Bonnie Moothart and Doug Moothart rode out on the WWT and mowed back the sides of the trails and removed trash. Both teams went back out after lunch for more trail work.
Marsha Achenbach (pictured) and Lora Conrad took DR brush mowers out along some of the narrower trails . Overgrowth was so bad that a trip down a trail and back with two mowers was needed to clear it for riding.
Pam Ball and Jo Watson used stencils provided by Bonnie Moothart to paint "Please Clean Your Stalls" on the boards inside the stalls--at both campgrounds. After cleaning some stalls left dirty by some messy campers, they decided this was much needed.
John Byrd and Bob Achenbach went out
on some rougher trails with chain saws to clear downed trees. They happened along the trail being hand mowed right when the chain was pulled off the DR, so also repaired the DR so mowing could resume.
