National Public Lands Day

Submitted by DAnderson

National Public Lands Day is a fun day of stewardship working alongside other user groups taking care of our public lands.  We will again take part in the event at Mount St Helens National Volcanic Monument, Gifford Pinchot National Forest.  The event is centered at the Marble Mountain Snow Park on the south side of Mount St Helens.  In the past we have installed signs along the ski trails, cleaned out culverts which protected Smith Creek Trail, and other maintenance projects which benefit all users of the Monument.  Our partners at the National Volcanic Monument and Mount St Helens Institute really appreciate the efforts that are but in.

Ape Canyon Sunset/Moon Light Cruise

Submitted by andyj
Plains of A Sunrise

Not a hard ride, but we are adding a twist.  You must bring everything you need to spend the night and have steaming cup of coffee in the morning.  This means carrying a sleeping bag, pad and tarp or tent and sufficient water and food. Consult www.bikepacking.net for ideas.

This is a trial run for some of us thinking about doing this on some more epic rides, so come on along, none of us have done it before. The plan is:

5:00 pm Leave Portland

7:00 pm Leave Ape Canyon trail head

8:30 pm Find a place to sleep on the hard cold ground and enjoy the full moon

6:00 am  Wake up for sunrise – make coffee and race back to town/lives and jobs.

Have a stove and french press already.

If done right, nobody will even know you were gone from work/home.

If interested send me an email, times are negotiable and may change.

andyj@nw-trail.org

(extra points to identify the guy checking his phone last time we were on a sunrise ride)
