MJR Trail Crew

Thanks to everyone for joining us!

After the way the day started I though for sure we wouldn’t get much done. Randy and Carmen’s Jeep broke early on and had to be towed to town for repairs. Jim towed them so they both left for the day. Thanks guys for coming and we hope you got home safely. During the hubbub Greg took a hike up to the shelf road to look at what we have already done. When we got there he was working on the cliff face, knocking sluff off the face. He likes what he saw and gave us the green light to complete the job. Thanks Greg. Ryan was very happy about that… …read on…

Thanks to Art, Chuck, Nick, and Tom for their hard work lifting and moving rocks. In total we moved approximatley 7,000-10,000 lbs for rocks to fill 5 gabion baskets. …read on…

Congratulations to the MJR trail crew for a “First Place in Hours” award and the forest “Conservation Award!”

WOW! Another great workday in the books. Thanks to everyone who came out to help - you guys rock! We all met at the gate around 9am, then Doug and Nick led the safety briefing and plan for the day. …read on…

On Friday, October 10th, Nick and Barb (USMC0369) and myself (RAT) did a prerun inspection of 3N93 in preparation for the October 18th run, which is building up to be the biggest yet. …read on…

On Saturday we hit the trail at 8:15am and headed for the gate on 3N14. We arrived at 8:45 and opened the gate. At 9:30 everyone had arrived, prepped for the trail and Nick had a safety meeting. We arrived at the Holcomb Creek crossing at 9:45am. With 24 MJR-ers present, I’d say it was a GREAT turn-out and I thank you all for helping me reach Nick’s goal of 300(+) hours in one day! …read on…

MJR AAT group had another great turn out to work on 3N93 (Holcomb Creek) on Saturday, Aug. 02, 2008. We met up at the Ranger Station on Hwy. 18. We got to the trail head around 9 AM. The first thing we did was inspect the illegal motorcycle trail that had been blazed some time ago to get around the water crossing at the East entrance to the trail. The barriers we placed there in previous trips were in place but are inadequate to stop determined bikers. We found fresh motorcycle tracks in the mud there. We’ll have to come up with another idea. …read on…

Tom, Katheryn, Chuck, Alycia, Aaron, Cody, Braden, Max, Sarah, Rick, Julie, Kevin and Nick met at the ranger station on a very chilly and overcast Memorial Day weekend. Those who came up through Running Springs saw snow on the ground! Despite the fronts coming through all weekend, the trails outside of Fawnskin were just damp enough to keep the dust down.

At the time of this report, Holcomb Creek Trail is closed to the public due to damage from the fires of 2007.

Nick, Barb, Doug, Tracy, Russ, Rick and Sarah met up at the Ranger Station Saturday morning with a goal of removing an old Bronco located approximately 1.5 miles down Holcomb Creek Trail. If you’re in suspense as to whether or not our small team was successful - we were! Upon approaching the gate at 3N14, we found two other jeeps heading away from it, letting us know it was locked.
