New trail construction has started

[boxboy]

So, anyone down for a rock acquisition fund raiser?
Bound to be tons of leveler type, big machine usin hillbillys around here..

Hows about if a bunch of rocks just ended up in the parking area for them to utilize?
How would that go over?
cheers

That would be great but the engineer would still need to put the trails on paper before the trail is built... But it would help with funding.

I see some very large differnece in the material they have ordered for one the rip rap is much larger and the base has way more fines it in so I hope it will pack in better... as well there are larger rocks.

and on an unrelated note the motorcycle trails ****ing blow... the green trail is better then the others as it is way more flow but I can ride all the trails in about 30 minutes... if they don't add another 15 miles or more then it really isn't worth going unless you are a beginner rider.

I'm feeling chatty tonight I guess...

Its not the cost's of the rock we need help with its the transportation...

Yep, big azz rock is relatively inexpensive but hauling it to remote locations is a killer.

CL is full of cheap, older dump trucks.


Just saying.... then its just a matter of finding CDL equipped volunteers or out of work drivers that would be willing to work cheap.


Out of curiosity, and I'm sure it has been mentioned in past threads, who's the contractor doing the work?

Wont DNR pay for fuel if you transport for them? or am I wrong there, something I thought I had heard in the past

The wife and I go to Stevens pass every weekend. Last week I mentioned how sweet it would be to use some of the clean,fractured,HUGE ass boulders the construction guys are pulling out of the cliff on the last climb to the summit(Old Faithfull slide area past Tunnel Creek). Seems like they have to pay to haul them off "somewhere" and its all down hill to Reiter:redneck: I know,I know.....transpo is the killer....just sayin:beer:

That would be great. Even if we hires our own truck, it would be cheaper

That isn't an option at this time. DNR will not help the volunteers in any way. I have tried all angles
