On 30 April 2016 PATC-MS and Friends of Seneca will hold our Spring Trail Work Day at Seneca Rocks. This is a rescheduled event from 09/10APR.
While we do have a few easier tasks, please be prepared for hard work.
At this event we will have crews working on the following items:
-Repair work to the stone steps below Triple S/Cockscomb and improvements to the nearby wooden staircase (below Neck Press).
-Repair work to the trail approaching the base of the Stairmaster (below The Burn, west of Ecstasy).
-Repair work at the Forest Service Amphitheater at Seneca Shadows Campground.
-Checking and resupplying the First Aid boxes/rescue caches and clearing out any smaller "tree issues" that occurred over the winter on approach trails
Registration is open to all volunteers.
Y
ou DO NOT need to be a member of PATC-MS to register and help out!
We will
meet at 8am at the Gendarme on Saturday and Sunday
mornings. Quitting time on Saturday is around 4pm. Dinner on Saturday night will be provided by Friends of Seneca at the Gendarme.
Bring work gloves, water and a lunch. Wear pants with good hiking shoes or work boots. Safety glasses and helmets highly recommended as well.
Climbing on Sunday is encouraged; this is a one-day trail work event.
PATC-MS will reserve a Group Site at Seneca Shadows for all trail work volunteers to use on Friday and Saturday nights; more info to follow. There is limited parking at the site. If it's full, drop off your stuff and park at the walk-in area. It's a short walk on the trail through the woods to the site. Please be sure to tear-down on Sunday morning before you leave as we need to be out of the site by 1pm.
Please contact Andy Weinmann if you've never been to Seneca or have any other questions.
Once you register you'll get an email with a link to a spreadsheet to help coordinate transportation arrangements, camping, etc.
