I really need as much help as possible, I have been working so much i have not had a chance to organize a work party and we need to fix the sun shine trail It is really tore up and if we don't fix it before memorial day then we will probably not be able to fix it. I know that this is short notice but I know that there a lot of great people out there that can make things happen. TOOLS needed are winches, snatch blocks and chains to drag logs, chain saws, pry bars and shovels, pics, trailers to haul rock, I spoke to Nancy and she is getting rock delivered and I have reserved a Bob Cat from Hertz He gave me a really good deal, I will be having a Raffle with some really good prizes after the work party along with a Bar b Que / pot luck. I have not got many things done yet this year I really need your Help to get this done we need to show Nancy that we are both willing and capable to make things happen. If you have any questions or think that you might be able to help out please give me a call. The best way to get a hold of me is to call my cell. I am working allot 253 444 7837
Also my email address has changed it is [email protected]
Sincerely Steve Russell

Thanks for posting Mud4funtoy! And thanks to Bobby Long. Please everyone remember to support the companies that support the local wheeling scene like Bobby Long!

Edit: I moved this to Shows/Events forum and deleted the double post.

so is bobby longfield making beadlocks again? he wasnt for awhile i thought.

KarlVP · May 2, 2006

naw, Steve pulled them off of his rig and cleaned them up to muster support for the work weekend.

mud4funtoy · May 3, 2006

I was surprised to hear he had them, I thought i got the last set. there was a guy who came to the focus meeting that had just bought a set so sounds like he is selling them. Better get a set befor he retires, he is getting older but don't tell him i said that, he will kick my ass. Better come up the work party and take your chances Who know's this might be his very last set. If you don't win give him a call 253 847 8254

Meet 8am at the campground.

Steve has asked me to pass on some information for this weekend's work party.
Directions. Continue east on Hwy 7 past Elbe to I believe it's 278th. We'll try to get a sign on the side of the road showing you where to turn L. It's not hard to miss. Given the volume of people you should be able to follow someone else up the dirt road to the campground. Again, I hope to be there early enough to put up a couple of simple signs for those have haven't been there before.

What to bring?
Gloves, shovels, pics, and other digging equipment. We have 15 water bars to build and we have to dig a 12" wide trench all across the trail, insert the water bar and then put it back together again.

Lunch?
This is a pot luck BBQ. We have stuff to each but if everyone can chip in with a few dogs, block of cheese, snacks, marshsmellows.. etc to contribute, that would be appreciated.

If you have questions, Steve is out of range as he's started working up there now and won't be back. Contact me personally at (253) 318-8188 if you have any questions.

We have trail repairs, campground building and more to be done. There's lots of work and need for everyone.

Thanks in advance to those who helped!

Work party was awesome, we spread some gravel in the main parking area and campsites. Hauled some material to rebuild the bridges on the sunrise trail. Filled in some holes with huge boulders and rock, and closed some bypasses on the sunrise trail. (It will be FUN after all that stuff settles).

Also built 7 new campsites and hauled 2 trailer loads of trash out of there.

Thanks to all that came and helped and a BIG THANKS to Steve for keeping it alive up there for us to play. Elbe wouldn't be there if it weren't for him. :cheer:

Yeah forgot about that cherokee. Those guys that pulled it out were hardcore. awesome job!!!! :clappy:

yjkrawlin · May 15, 2006

absolutly! it can be challeging enough getting youself through that busywild at times, let alone hauling a trailer with a cherokee on it

Gibby1 · May 15, 2006

We got the necessary repairs made to Sunshine and added new rock crawls in those areas. We replaced 9 water bars on that trail that were broken down.

Got some painting done on the shelter and created 9 complete new campsite with tent pads, fire pits and picnic tables that had to be chained down.
Picked up several truck loads of garbage. We got the PNW storage contained wired for electricity.

The group that was recoving the abandoned Jeep was not as successful. They worked their tail off all day and only moved it about 500 yards. The decision has been made to cut it in pieces so that it can be hauled out.

They didn't actually get the Cherokee out. They tried but were unsuccessful.

JOOP · May 15, 2006

Thanks for everyone that could help, wish I could of but this weekend was the wrong weekend to go playing. So who won the beadlocks?

yjkrawlin · May 15, 2006

i was wondering about that , cuase i dont think they made it back by the time we had left for home, i read a post on the rubicon owners forum, and assumed they had got it out, but now that i look at the picture agian, they didnt have a trailer, but pulled it out upside down and backwards.
