Basic hand tools. Shovel, rake, polaski those types of things. Chainsaw if your certified for FS. (there will be a recert session on sat for those that need it)

9:00 am at the Day use area. (by the campground) yes you do need a day pass but they typicly give them out when you sign in. Or at least have in the past. I will make a call tonoght and verify this.

I just figured he was smart enough to know the answer already and that he was just being a smart ass about a "proposed" rule that may or may not even happen. :redneck:

Its a tool the FS and DNR use. has a axe head on one side and a sharp hoe like edge on the other side. Kind of a light weight mattock. great tool for digging and cutting roots.

pokey · May 19, 2010

OK I checked, They will be handing out passes when you register for the work party. (if you work both days or two differant FS workpartys you can trade the two passes for a seasonal pass at the ranger station.)

I figure I'll throw up a conditions report. Me my cousin headed up there last night (Thursday) and it was pretty wet. After the main parking lot, there was traces if new snow, and at the campground, it was in the trees and on the sides of the road.
We to the road up to the top of the upper 311, and the road was completely clear (with snow on the sides) up to the swithback where the 310 (I never knew it was called that...) comes Ito the road. From there the "310" was pretty much covered in 1-2" of snow with some bare spots up to the last clearing (where there is the play area with a couple logs).

By the time we got back down to the campground, it was snowing pretty good. I don't know if that new snow added up overnight, or if it stopped.
I may be able to head back up tonight if it helps alot of people out.

billulsund · May 21, 2010

Thanks for the update Dogboy. I was wondering if this storm was dropping any snow up there and now I have my answer. Sounds like it will be a bit sloppy up there for the work party this weekend.

Dogboy · May 21, 2010

Would anybody happen to have an open seat? I can meet you on the side of the road in Carbonado.
Or does anybody know if there will be much work on the roads? Like shoveling gravel or anything?
I don't had a rear driveshaft, so I'll be stuck on the roads unless somebody has an open seat.
Sited way I'll be there
