If possible, arrive earlier in the day to allow additional time to acclimatize to the high altitude and to setup camp. You will need to provide your own meals for Thursday evening. The PCTA will supply meals on Friday, Saturday and breakfast and lunch on Sunday. [b]8/27 Friday --[/b] Everyone should be packed and ready to start work at 8:00 am. We will have a safety talk and description of the work activities for the weekend. There is a switchback in need of repair, a boggy area which needs fixing, a stream crossing that needs attention, and a connector trail from the trailhead parking lot to the main PCT line which need rehabilitation. Work will continue until 3 or 4 in the afternoon. There are frequently brief afternoon thunderstorms in the Sierra, so be prepared. When we return to camp there will be a happy hour followed by dinner around 6 pm. [b]8/28 Saturday --[/b] We will rejoin the USFS and other PCTA volunteers for a regular workday, from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. [b]8/29 Sunday --[/b] We will join the USFS and other PCTA volunteers for work in the morning, but we will break early, probably around 1 pm. You will be able to get Sunday dinner on your drive home.

Depending on progress (and permits) we will be engaged in either some new trail construction or repair of approaches to the new bridge. This is a perfect time of year to be out on the coast. Warm weather and no crowds will make your day. Sun, 25 Jul 2010 03:01:04 EDT
