Northern Utah Fall Quarterly Training Day + Service Project up AF Canyon: September 28-29th 2012

[TROKITA]

Got my tent ready for tomorrow night

 

[JL Rockies]

I am probably going to go BUT.... Friday is the last day of the month for me and when teh suk of last day of the month mixes with teh suk of the last day of the week, it becomes a big teh suk sandwich which I and my team are forced to take a bite of. Long story short: there's no way I will be there at 6PM.

 

[sixstringsteve]

the fire will be burning late into the night. I'll stay up 'till 2 if I know you're coming Joseph. Hopefully we can get you rowdy enough to throw some poo-bags in the fire.

Trokita, is that the new Sierra Designs ultralight tent?

 

[TROKITA]

no its the ultra compact LTE, Arty design truck tent

 

[Poe_student]

School taken care of for the week, with help to campus shutting down early for the Utah USC game next week. I will be able to commit to attending in stead of reading about it from the fence. lol

 

[UVRUGBY]

I wish I was able to make this trip, this would be worth the fun times. Plus get up in the mountains right now, color changes!! Also going to be some good mudding if you get to the good spots.

 

[TJDukit]

Got some firewood loaded up for you guys. I figured between this and what you will be bringing you should have more than enough.

 

[Kevin B.]

good mudding

No such thing.

 

[TJDukit]

No such thing.

I am forced to agree. Although my wife doesn't quite agree with that but she has her own 4-wheel drive she can get muddy now if she wants.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Also going to be some good mudding if you get to the good spots.

Yeah, mudding, treading lightly, and national forests don't really fit together. With how few trails we have left, we need to make sure we do as little damage to the trail as possible. Utah has some great mud holes, but when they're in a national forest we avoid them.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Temps are going to be cool/cold in the evening. Also, it might be a good idea to pack a poncho just in case we get a shower for a little bit. Looking forward to seeing all you up there.

 

[JL Rockies]

So we are not camping at graveyard flats?

 

[sixstringsteve]

No, we are camping @ Dutchman Flats, near the start of MEG. I don't want the ghosts at Graveyard to scare the grown men away.

 

[Hardcastle]

Please put me on the committed list. I won't be there until about 8 tonight but i'll help with the service project and trail run tomorrow.

 

[sixstringsteve]

excellent! It'll be good to have you Gordon.

 

[JL Rockies]

Children ghosts are the worst.

 

[gijohn40]

[sixstringsteve]

nope, we don't need your trailer anymore. Thanks for the offer John. The generator is definitely helpful. I sent you a text. Thanks.

 

[sixstringsteve]

For those that volunteered but didn't get a NPLD shirt or Forest Service Coffee Mug, let me know. I'll get in touch with Cheryl and get you what you missed. Thanks everyone, especially those who stepped up during the week, we could not have done this without you.

Thanks for a successful training day. I hope to see you guys on the trail soon. Thank you thank you thank you for all your hard work today, we had a fantastic turnout and got a TON done. It'll be fun to be able to look back on that fence for years to come and tell our grandkids we helped build it.
