[pct-l] PCT Maintenance Opportunity - Snoqualmie Pass, Washington July 30-31

[Barry Teschlog]

Resending, as the work party is 4 weeks from this coming weekend.  So far, we have 6 folks signed up for Saturday and 7 for Sunday.  We can always use more.  This section of trail needs all the TLC it can get.  The snow melt on this part of the trail is about 2 weeks slower than last year.  It'll be clear by the work weekend.  No experience required.  All tools and hard hats provided. 



Here's your chance to help out the PCT in Washington near Snoqualmie Pass.

For those of you who've hiked the section south of Snoqualmie, you know this 
part of the trail is in need of some serious TLC.  We'll pick up where we left 
off last fall with the first of 3 scheduled weekend work parties on July 30-31.

This first weekend will focus on finishing a tread restoration project we 
started last August.  We'll install rock check steps and restore an eroded, 
rocky section of trail near Olallie Meadows, about 4-5 trail miles south of 
Snoqualmie Pass.  The hike into the work site is about a mile or so.  If we wrap 
this up, we'll press north toward Snoqualmie Pass doing general maintenance on 
this section of the trail.

Car camping is available about 1/2 a mile from the trail access point for those 
who wish to stay near the work site.

Only interested or available for one day?  No problem - come out for one day.  
Don't care to car camp?  Again, no problem - commute from home or head down the 
road ~15 minutes to the hotel at Snoqualmie Pass.
