All Wheelers Off Road Club -
Ahtanum State Forest Work Party
May 30th, 2009


On Saturday May 30th, 2009 some of the All Wheelers Off Road Club members came up to the Sno-park to do some more work on the Green Dot roads and trails.

We first headed up the Mid Fork and then up the Whites Ridge Loop Trail.
At the top of the ridge as the trail turns west we found a broke Green Dot Marker.

As we went along we added some new Green Dots to the markers that had the tops of them broken.

As the trail turned toward the south we found some down fall in the trail.
The members had the trail cleared in no time.

We turned up the Whites Ridge Crest Trail.
At the top of the second climb we had a big tree to remove from the trail.
People had a by-pass around both side of it.

Test Dummy cut the tree.

Fatboy pulled the tree out of the trail with his TJ.

Volunteers moved the debris.

Fatboy pulled the tree onto the most used by-pass.

Volunteers put what they could find at the top of the by-pass.

At the next intersection we replaced a broken Green Dot Marker.

Just up the trail we started hitting patches of snow on the trail.

Monster jumped out of the Jeep to move some branches from the trail.

Here we placed two new markers since there was a new logging road pushed in.

On up the trail the loggers had a big mess.
I drove up what I think is the trail until I couldn't stay on top of the snow.
I wanted to be sure this was the trail before we placed a Green Dot Marker. I walked from here.

I found the trail again where the snow is on the left.

We went back down to put the marker in at the start of the logging.

Sunday

The next morning we headed up Sedge Ridge to do some trail Maintance.
We ran A-2400 up and turned onto A-2420.
At the top of A-2420 we found a mark was missing so we added a new one.

We next ran the Sedge Ridge Crest Trail toward Tampico.
Not far plast the Boulder Trail we found two big trees had fallen across the Sedge Ridge Crest Trail.

I cut the first tree and Guedo pulled it into the by-pass with his TJ.

This second Tree was bigger.

Again I cut the tree and Guedo tried to pull the tree into the by-pass.

Here I am getting a different hold on the tree for Guedo. (I do not know what my daughter did to the camera when she took this)

Here we got the two trees moved off the trail.

We ran the trail to the end to make sure nothing else needed to be done.
Here comes Guedo.

We fixed it with what we had.

We ran on down A-2400 toward the Sno-park.
Near the bottom if the ridge we found someone had drove on top of a Green Dot Marker we just put in two weeks before.
The Green Dot Marker is now broken.

We packed up camp and sit around resting before heading home to the heat.
Here are two pictures during that time.

Here is the Mid fork Ahtanum Creek running behind our camp.
