Last Saturday’s Jones Creek Trail work party was a success: 42 volunteers put in more than 400 hours to repair about 200 feet of trail popular with ORV users.
The area opens to users in May. Volunteers are already getting the trail system ready for the 2010 riding season.
Last Saturday, volunteers built 40 feet of fence, cleared brush from a mile of trail and removed about half-ton of garbage. They also drained and blocked access to an unauthorized mud pit that people had been riding through.
DNR thanks the following for their generous donations of supplies and loan of equipment:
- Jones Creek Trail Riders: 4 6X6 ATVs and a skid steer loader
- Pro Caliber, Longview: a 6X6 ATV and a side-by-side ATV
- Darel and Crystal Crowder: tractor
- Jacob Turpeinen: excavator
- Kenny Fiorito from ISCO Industries: 2 culverts
- Sunbelt Rentals, Vancouver: a skid plate compactor
- Jones Creek Trail Riders and Pistons Wild Motor Sports: lunch
Additional groups represented at last weekend’s event were Dirt Church ATV and the Christian Motorcycle Association.
The same folks who brought you last weekend’s work party will be hosting the annual pre-season opening work party on April 10. After that, the Jones Creek Trail Riders will sponsor work parties monthly starting April 25. For more information, visit DNR’s volunteer calendar.
