Silver Falls State Park Spring Trail Maintenance Day, April 21, 2012. Join your fellow Chemeketan climbers and hikers as we build a new connector trail at Silver Falls State Park!
We will meet a ranger at the main park headquarters office and shops at 8:30 am (Note that this is a change from the original plan.) Carpoolers planning on meeting at the South Salem K-mart parking lot (next to Jack-in-the-Box along Mission street) meet at 7:30 am and leave by 7:45. This work party will have something for every ability and skill level. The park will supply all needed tools - you need to bring gloves and wear hike/work clothes (i.e. a tuxedo would be inappropriate.) It will be warm so bring plenty to drink, sun protection and your lunch. You will also need to sign a park release form. The event should wrap up no later than 3:00 pm - leaving some time if you want to explore the park afterwards. Park Trail Map and directions
Besides getting outside in a beautiful place with fun folks this activity also has the benefit of improving park trails, getting the club access to some really great park facilities for future Chemeketan Wilderness first Aid classes (see picture right) and we also get some signage in the State’s most popular park.
Please RSVP to Brett Miliken so he will know how many folks to expect and to coordinate carpooling.
