Corral Canyon Volunteers

[carguy 1]

Hello,

Well it has been a busy week around the district with snow and winter

weather moving in on our second volunteer work day. Despite the change in

the weather we had a good turnout and a lot of work was accomplished. I

wanted to take time to thank everyone who helped out with our volunteer

projects over the last two weekends. The amount of work accomplished was

about twice what would have been considered good. The crumby weather on the

second Saturday should have lowered the groups output but it did not.

Everyone who showed up did a great job and demonstrated their commitment to

caring for their OHV resources. You can all take very justifiable pride in

your efforts and you all have my utmost gratitude. Thanks for caring and

getting involved.

We on the Forest Service end will be doing a big push to get the area open

by the end of January and thanks to all the great volunteer work I do not

see a reason why that target cannot be met. I will be organizing a regular

volunteer program that allows folks to participate in keeping Corral Canyon

open, in good shape and providing high quality OHV opportunities (once we

have the immediate goal of the January opening taken care of). There will

be contractors and work crews coming in to do the "heavy" work and Trails

Unlimited is due to start work in the next couple of weeks. More volunteer

days are being planned too. I will keep you all informed as things move

forward.

In the meantime have a wonderful holiday season!
