***Due to the unseasonably wet weather coupled with the high levels of  visitor use, there is a temporary closure at Sandy Ridge, along with a cancellation of this Work Party/Grand Opening this coming weekend.  The work party/dedication will be rescheduled for later this summer-- at which time we hope that the bridge across Little Joe Creek will also be in place.***

Celebrate the creation of the Sandy Ridge Trail System at the official dedication! Allow a couple hours for trail projects and presentations, and more to be announced.

Meeting Spot: Homestead Road Gate off of East Barlow Road

Meeting Time: *9:00 AM*

What to Bring:  Boots, gloves, sack lunch, water, weather appropriate clothing and bike for riding afterward.

BLM will be providing tools (and gloves if you don't have your own).

Directions from Portland:  Head east on Highway 26 to the second E. Sleepy Hollow Drive(Start Looking when you see the Wyndells sign).  Turn left on E. Sleepy Hollow Drive and go down to the second street which is E. Barlow Trail Road.  Turn right on E. Barlow Trail Rd.  Continue down for about a 1/2 mile, past the first parking area/restroom on the left, until you see National Forest Service Road 14 (aka Homestead Rd) on your left--  you will see a yellow gate and small parking area.

Now that this is cancelled, Buck Creek work party is a good option!

Definitely!

Ted's put a lot of work into making the Buck Creek NTD Work Party & Ride happen, and it will be a good time. 

Buck/Nestor has really come a long way and this is a great event to find out more about it!

I am relatively new to the area(I live in Battleground) and if anyone can give me a ride to the work party I sure would appreciate it.I can meet somewhere in north Portland(preferably Jantzen beach).
