How bout some music to read by- ADOPTED TRAILS CLEAN UP GARCIA RIDGE Saturday April 25, 1998 Workday Crew: Will H (white cherokee), Jesse H (tan toyota), Winger (running fool), Debbie & Richard K (gray wrangler), Dave S. (red cherokee), Mike H. and friend Steve (bronco II w/toyota running gear), Scott P. (tan toyota) and Ed B (orange cj5) met at Pozo Ranger Station, collected the equipment from Mike B., our friendly forrest ranger, and headed out to Garcia Ridge. The group cleared trees off the trail, cleared brush for another choice picnic spot, set pipe in concrete for the retaining wall for the existing picnic table, and cleared the trail for debris. Was a good day for a run and everyone pitched in and enjoyed the day. PINE MOUNTAIN Saturday, May 9, 1998 Workday Crew: Randy & Kathy P, (white cj), Jesse H. (tan toyata), Mike Jr. (toyota 4runner), Al & Judy and daughter Annie (green wrangler), Debbie & Richard K. (gray wrangler). By way of Los Chichas the group made it's way up to Pine Mountain. One mishap and one close call . Our new members Al & Judy had the unfortunate experience of heading up a slight incline and not being able to see what was directly in front of them and landing in a wash out and bending their right front spring. With the help of Jesse H.'s winch and Randy P's help they were able to bend the spring without snapping it. Another washout almost (4 panicked vehicles behind him) washed out Jesse H., who stopped just in time before going nose first into it, rear end sticking straight up. Cleaning debris and removing trees and branches from the trail, with discussion of having a chain saw work day to clear out the area around the picnic table the group made it safely back. Mike and Jesse stopped on the way back to check out La Panza campground and test out Mike's new 4 runner. The rest of us headed out checking out Navajo Road which was a challenge in itself due to all the damage from the rains, and Al just sure that we were lost forever and going the wrong way. Over all it was a gorgeous day, the wild flowers blooming, the streams running, green everywhere you looked. ______________ --SLO County 4WD Club Board of Directors Meeting--- Mark B's House Thursday May 28, 1998 6:00 PM SLO County 4WD Club Board of Directors President Ray M.

Will very adeptly pointed out to us that even though he babysat us and handed us a political action letter that was ready to send, very few of us followed through. For shame. We are sending Will to the meeting for information, and we should be acting on it. We were asked through Mike to list our activities that relate to keeping trails in this area open, as he will be nomination us for an award. Just being considered is an honor. Kathy will be outlining our past achievenments for us to submit to Mike by the next CCORE meeting. Remember the 24 hour line will tell you which trails in our area are open. (805) 438-4048.
