Snowshoe Trail Maintenance
Tuesday February 27th
8:30 to 2ish


Trailwork last week was on the Todd Lake Loop. Dave Alward, Dennis Damici, Gary Evans, Kelly Eager, Mike Bodell and Bob TImmer cleared a complex, leaning snag just before the Todd Meadow. This was the fist outing by Mike this season and he reported that his new hip performed well...we are glad to have him back! The remainder of the  Todd Lake and Dutchman snowshoe trails are clear.


This Tuesday, February 27th, we will head to Swampy Sno-Park and install new junction signs on the Summit ByPass section of the Porcupine Snowshoe Trail.  We will then continue on the Porcupine trail to the Swampy Shelter, checking for blowdown and signage, and then return to the sno-park.  The snowshoe will be a 3 1/2 mile loop.


 Plans                  

  • Tuesday February 27th (NOAA Forecast)
    • A 50 percent chance of snow. Partly sunny, with a high near 32.
  • Meet at Bend Parks and Recreation 799 Sw Columbia (by the kayak round-a-bout) at 8:30 AM 
    • Group up and drive to Swampy sno-park.
    • Snowshoes are a must.. You might want gaiters as there will be fresh snow on Monday and we might be breaking trail
    • Please bring regular PPE (hardhat, gloves, glasses, long sleeve shirt, etc) Let me know if you me to bring extra. 
    • Hand saws and pole saws. I will have one section of a ladder for sign installation.
