Dorrance - Tues. 6/25 @ 5:30pm & Sun. 6/30 @ 9am
A couple work days planned this week at Dorrance (weather permitting). One last session to wrap up seep repairs and a tech feature build day on the weekend.
Tuesday 6/25 @ 5:30pm
- Finishing work on french drains to eliminate areas with ground water seeps.
- Need to move gravel to areas and dig trenches for drain tubes.
- I'll have 2 wheelbarrows on site but could use a third to speed up moving materials (will have to do small loads & more trips due to steep/rugged terrain).
Sunday 6/30 @ 9:00am
- Starting work on tech features. Ladder bridges, creek crossing armoring, and possibly some rock work.
- Hauling in treated lumber, decking materials, and rock to feature sites
- Special tools needed include cordless drill/impact driver for building wooden structures. T-25 bits for screws. Charge/bring extra batteries.
- Casey's pizza for lunch.
A loadout of club tools (rogue hoes, flat shovels, etc) will be available both days; enough for ~8 people. Bring your own if you want to. Meeting in the inner parking lot both days.
Bug head nets for the gnats (they are really bad right now) are highly recommenced and bring plenty of water. I'll have DEET bug spray also.
