Divide Ridge Trails Maintenance

November 2nd, 2008

On Sunday November 2nd, 2008 we met up at the Ahtanum Sno-park.
We aired down and headed up the North Fork Ahtanum Road and onto the Blue Lake trail.

We stopped for a short break at Blue Lake.

Next we headed on up toward Blue Slide Lookout to block off an illegal trail off 4W615.

We block the top off first.

Then we went back down to block the bottom of the illegal trail.

We headed on toward 4W613 to add some "No Vehicle" markers at the Lower Meadow.

We regrouped before heading down 4W613.

As we passed Strobach Springs we saw someone stole the Strobach Springs sign the PNW4WDA had put there years ago.

At the 4W613 Upper Meadow we had to fix two Green Dot Markers.

The first one we just stood back up. It will need to be cut off and reburied next spring.

The next marker was broke all the way off so we put it back in the ground.

We stopped at the Strobach Mountain Vista but could not see more than 100 foot off the mountain.

We headed out using the Strobach Mountain Trail and on down Cowiche Ridge to Cowiche Mill Road.

This was a fun run thanks to the people who came. I want to thank Waycrazy, BlindPilot, 4wheelingplus.com, PUO, Punisher, Crawl Dad, Guedo and all the guest for the help.
 
Please tell us about those tools you use to 'install' the trail markers.

Great pics and write up as always.:awesomework:

Thanks.
The tools we used this time belong to the Forest Service. The DNR uses the same type of tools. There is a slide bar to make the hole and the driver to hammer in the marker.
