RAUSCH CREEK - DAY OF SERVICE April 20th.

We would like to do a trail clean-up/ trail cutting for Rausch Creek. This is a great way for our club to give back and help Rausch Creek. We have the option of doing a 1/2 day cleaning or 1/2 day wheeling or a full day clean-up and the park will give participants a free pass to wheel.

To make the clean-up successful we need as many members as possible to COMMIT to participating. So before we schedule with Rausch, please post-up and let us know if you can participate.

There are not many places to legally wheel...so we should do what we can to support the park!

Me. Yes. 1/2 day or 1 whole day - does not matter.

I'm totally in. Either half or whole; doesn't matter to me either!!!!

Count us in!

Heard from Kyle; The 20th is a go for Rausch! We need a definite count of folks that can help. So far we have:

IH8pepl73
Green Bay
JeepGurl/JeepinUSA

We really need more folks. Remember if we do a whole day clean up- we get a free pass to Rausch!!!!

i'll have to get back to you on whether i can make it for this as the time gets closer...

i would love to go, but it will still be to soon for me to leave my wife with the two little ones. i will be playing it by ear, but i hope to be able to go on some trips later this summer.

Are we gonna be clearing new trails? Do I need to bring a chainsaw or anythingh else? Let me know....

I'll be bringing a small pruning saw, a bow saw, a set of rusty anvil loppers, one of the hi-lift handle-all sets (multi-use as shovel, ax, sledge, and pick-ax, but not as good as any one of these as a dedicated tool), and my hatchet if I can find it. Oh, yeah, my jeep has a winch too.

I'll just bring a chainsaw and a few other things just in case....

I sent an e-mail to Mary/Kyle confirming this weekend and asking if there are specific tools we need to bring. I think what you guys are already bringing sounds great! I also asked what time they want us to start and if they know what trails they want us to work on.

I will post up once I hear and we can finalize plans! We will caravan up from the park -n- ride at 439 and 83 if that works for everyone.

See you soon. Have a great week!

location works great for me since it is maybe 10min from my house, i'm still not sure if i'll be able to make it but i will let you know ASAP.

Ok. Heard back from Rausch. We will be working with Bernie from Raush and I am calling him today to finalize the game plan.

Bernie would like us there by 9 a.m. So we need to leave the park-n-ride by 6:15 a.m. sharp!! We will be pruning and trimming back existing trails most likely on the West Property.

Please bring any pruning/trimming tools you have especially loppers and hedge trimmers. Those that are planning to bring chain saws, please do. Make sure to wear appropriate clothing and bring heavy gloves, etc., to protect you hands and googles to protect your eyes.

I will post up additional details tonight after I talk to Bernie. Can't wait

Spoke with Bernie tonight. We will be cleaning up the West property and some green trails and also the area used for the race last weekend. We will plan on leaving the park n ride at 6:15 a.m.

Does anyone have a hitch on their jeep?

I have a hitch on mine but not sure if the electrical connections work - never used them. What needs to be towed?

Bernie says he has a small generator on a small platform that we can use on the trails.

No problem. Happy to help!! Gettin' a chainsaw for Saturday. And I own a military-style shovel. Other than that... I have two hands!

As of right now, Mike has to work this weekend, so he will not be attending (unless work arrangements change), but I am still coming.

If someone has an extra seat I could hitch a ride with, that'd be much appreciated!
I will also bring some loppers and shears I have.

You can ride with us!

Or you can ride with me and Greg!

Thanks guys! I'll go with Sammy and we can discuss our agenda for Sunday Funday in the Park!!!
check out what our Sunday/Funday is at www.mdspca.org and join us! We'd love to have you and maybe next year the club can form a "pack" to walk for next years walk-a-thon. Alpha Omega Dawgs!
