tkblazer, the event is Sunday. The flier was incorrect at first.

I was going to write something scathing...for now I will just leave it at this. Where are the shuttle monkeys helping to give back to the mountain (Mt Wilson) we all love so much?

And big THX to those that are helping, it is a cool trail that needs some help.

Now now Dean Keep your blood pressure low. We don't want to start a flame war. I have shuttle monkeyed in the Angeles before. Twice we shuttled from Three Points to Chantry via the Silver Moc, and were called The Epic Shuttlers because of it.

I think his name starts with an "M" and end with a "artino," but I'm not naming names. EpicShuttlers Unite!!!

Hans and I went and rode Valley Forge today to do a little pre-work survey. There are a few sections that need some critical attention.

There was a big slide, about 20' wide, that will need to be carefully removed. I say carefully, as it may not have fully settled yet.

Other needed work will be cutting back and/or removing some yuccas (they're growing fast right now!), some water diversion work, and some wind debris (branches that have fallen across and along the trail).

It's a really fun trail, and the new slide will put a damper on it's 'flow' if not taken care of, so that will likely be the big project for Sunday.

Wow Liz, didn't realize you were still hurting from that puncture. Bummer you were the only one not suffering from the pain of the ride last weekend, just the pain of the puncture.

Having had one go all the way through my index finger. I take great pleasure taking the loppers to those basturds.

Better yet lets take a Pulaski to the Yuccas and get them all the way out instead of just trimming them back!
