Adopt a Trail

This is a message posted on the Club e-mail list in June 2009 by MCC President Jiro Tulley,

Some one mentioned
that trail stewards
could be the solution
for some trails that
are returning to the
forest. 
Adopt a trail is a nice
way to show you care.

Some of us have
favorite trails that we
work on a lot and then
the others don't see
much work. 
Then those trails get
lots of use and the
others turn to brush.

If you would like to adopt a trail please let
us know and then we know that its taken care of.


Members that have responded;

This is a good idea. I have been trying to keep up the Camp One Loop, and the
Manley Gulch Trails.

I think the adopt a trail is a great idea. If it isn't already taken I would
like to adopt Boiler Trail.
Gene

We would like to adopt the High Chute trail and the Labrador Trail.
Jim and Cindy

Many more trails trails need work. Please consider adopting a trail!

Fort Bragg Lights Parade

MCC participated in the Lights Parade again this year. After meeting and setting up lights our group left F.B.Cyclery and headed to the parade start on Stewart St. We showed up at around 15 min before start time and got to be the last entries. This meant we could push back the police escort and really have some fun! A whole lot of wrong way riding was going on. Toward the end on Franklin St we started weaving up through and checking out the other entrants. Some put a lot of effort into the show! We then headed over to Rose and Stan's for a great pot luck dinner and a few eggnogs. A good time was had by all!
Get out and Ride!

Moguls Trail Closure

I met with JDSF and Caspar Creek Watershed Study staff 11/5/09 at the Recreational Task Force meeting. Everyone apologized for not letting us know before closing the trail. The reason for the closure is to immediately stop use that is contributing to soil washing into streams in the Caspar Watershed Study area. This study monitors water quality before and after timber harvest work. It is important for this study's accuracy to keep erosion not related to harvesting to a minimum. I asked to be given an opportunity to try and reopen the trail by addressing the erosion problems. In my opinion this would be the best long-term solution. Staff was open to this. I will set up a field meeting to look at the problems with staff and ask that the public be invited as well. This will not happen overnight so please respect this closure.
