2020 Adopt a Trail Clean-up
Looks like we have been given the go ahead to have 'official' clean-up run for our adopted trails by the USFS....there are some new protocols being put in place - please see details linked below as if you cannot adhere to these requirements we would have to ask you not to participate in this year's clean-ups:

In addition to getting that info out to you all, we could also consider when/if we want to do our clean-up(s). Given this year's circumstances, we are not required to do any official clean-ups to maintain our status as trail adopters. In a normal year, we are required to do two - and over the last 2-3 years, we have targeted a clean-up in mid-July after the 7/4 holiday weekend, and a second clean-up in Sept/Oct before seasonal closure. Do we have interest in a run later this July? Should we just wait until the end of the season? I am happy to participate in any clean-up run, the reality is that I have very few open weekends between now and the end of Aug, so i don't want to choose any potential dates. Personally, I would probably be interested to do a clean-up during a weekday with a small group - maybe just doing one trail - maybe even just a part of one trail - it all counts as 'hours' to the USFS, and small groups are possibly easier to manage with C19 requirements.
cheers!

I'm game for a weekday cleanup run, possible a trail each week for a couple of weeks?
Re: 2020 Adopt a Trail Clean-up
I am headed to the Rubicon on Fri and expect to be back the following Friday (7/17). Assuming I don't break my jeep - although for DC the Tacoma can do it - anytime from 7/18-7/29 would be doable for me. We would need to get this planned early enough to set it up with Brant at USFS and sign paperwork (releases) although maybe we could do that all remotely now? Even if I am unable to attend, I can be the contact with Brant and the USFS to help you all schedule whatever you need.

Weekday will be rough for me, I got a Newb that wanted to run with us but both of us off during the week would be a damn ne’er no go.
Re: 2020 Adopt a Trail Clean-up
Talked to Brant at USFS and I just added a poll to this thread....I am not sure which days would be best for them, but he seemed pretty flexible and figured I'd put up a poll to see where interest is highest....Choose all dates that would work for you....thanks!

9/5 and 9/6 are Labor Day weekend. It might be best to wait until that is completed prior to going in. Just my two cents.
Re: 2020 Adopt a Trail Clean-up
Whatever gets the most sign-ups is what will go...
