BUCK CREEK Trail Project + Ride

The plan:  Meet at the main trailhead sign at 9, by 9:15 we divide into groups and drive to our worksites.  We would work no later than 1 PM so that we do an optional bike ride.

Meeting location: At the Buck Creek Trail sign at the four way intersection at Lake View Road (near Northwestern Lake, WA) 

Trail work: We are focused on removing storm damage and general debris from the trail after the winter storms.  There will be some tread repair as well. We are focus on reopening the trail from Nestor Peak down to Trail Head One (TH1).  I have already cleared TH1 and down to Buck Creek.  If time and man-power permits we will work on the Lower Buck Creek Loop as well. 

Things to bring: Tools needed:  Loppers, cutters & saws, and Maclouds. Clothes:  boots, pants, gloves, eye protection, clothes for the weather and water
