US West Grapevine Canyon Trail Cleanup

[Barclay]

Come join us for a day of trail maintenance in the San Bernadino National Forest at our newly adopted trail, Grapevine Canyon!

We'll meet in Fawnskin at center of town on the north side of Big Bear Lake, look for 3 fawn statues pictured above. GPS coordinates are listed on the RP map below for exact location. Please be there by 10am sharp; this is where we'll be joining the Park Ranger, after which we'll head out to Grapevine Canyon which is about an hour away. We'll perform basic trail maintenance, and if it's already looking pretty good, we can take to cleaning the BLM portion of the trail (where the driving gets a bit more technical), as well as nearby campsites that may need it. Duration to be determined by the condition of the trail.

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE REQUIREMENTS LISTED IN THE ADDITIONAL NOTES BELOW

Awesome! Thank you for doing this! If I lived a couple thousand miles closer I would be IN!

Looks like a great event. Wanted to go but something has just come up and I need to cancel. Looking forward to next time.

Looks like it will be good. I signed up with Overland Bound at the Expo in May but haven't done anything yet. I think I'll come and hook up. Anyone camping afterwards?

 

[Barclay]

TM Overland: some people are camping Friday and/or Saturday night. I'll be at Horse Springs campground near the trailhead on Fri night; so far I don't have plans for a predetermined location for Sat night.

 

[TM Overland]

Things have come up that may waylay my plans to make it there this weekend, so I'll be there or I won't. Last minute decision. But I definitely want to meet up sometime.

I'll be joining you. I'll probably meet up with you on Friday evening at Horse Springs. I'll be in Black Betty. You won't be able to miss her; Ford 4x4 F350 ex-USAF ambulance conversion. See you there!

Great, check the Rally Point for all information.

Haven't heard much from this thread. Are we just meeting in Fawnskin at 10 am? Anyone coming up from OC?

I’ll be there tomorrow, do my “family thing” and then meeting on Saturday am. Last I heard @Unbound4R and @Barclay are headed up tomorrow and camping.

Copy that. I'll see you at the Rally Point on Saturday!

Coming up from SD in the morning. Hoping to make it to the meet on time.

Thank you everyone for coming out and helping to keep our forests clean! I had a great time, and we definitely did some hard work and made a dent. Photos to come!
