    Default Dorrance Feature Building - UR Wood Berm - Sat 12/14 @ 9am

    Final build day for the new berm feature at Dorrance. Last time we started screwing down decking and got the entry ramp built.


    Where & When:
    Saturday 12/14 @ 9:00am

    Meeting in the interior parking lot and working on the western portion of the black loop until noonish. The gates leading to the interior parking lot are closed for the season but I'll have them unlocked. Please close them behind you if you arrive later.

    Work Scope:
    - Haul decking to work area
    - Build exit ramp
    - Attach remaining decking to subframe
    - Build dirt approaches to on-ramps


    Tools:
    - Bring cordless screwdrivers and impacts with T25 bits for attaching planks. General carpentry tools may also be useful; I'll have most of what we need.

    I'll also have a selection of basic club tools (rogue hoes, flat shovels, etc); enough for ~8 people. Probably won't use many of these.

    Check out the finished product! Thanks again to everyone who helped with this!





    Still need to add a little dirt at the ends of the approach/exit ramps. Couldn't do it Sat. since the ground was already too frozen. A little (3") hop will be needed to get onto it temporarily.
