How about helping out a good cause?

Lumpy Ridge Trail Day - Estes Park
When: Oct 18, 2009

For the 9th consecutive year the Front Range Section of the American Alpine Club will be hosting a trail improvement day at Lumpy Ridge in Estes Park, Colorado. This project is in conjunction with the Access Fund ‘Adopt-A-Crag’ program and the National Park Service (NPS).

Volunteers will meet at 7:30am at the Estes Park Town Hall parking lot on MacGregor Ave (downtown next to the police dept. and behind the library) where coffee and donuts will be provided. NPS staff will supply tools and transportation to the trail head. Volunteers should bring gloves, plenty of water, weather appropriate clothing and are encouraged to stay for the full day (but part day help is very welcome). All volunteers in attendance at 4pm will be eligible for gifts and raffle items that are sure to please and thrill.

The goal this year includes work on the badly eroded “Sundance Buttress” approach trail.

Interested persons should register early by contacting event organizer Greg Sievers at g_sievers57@q.com , or 970-586-4075 to be assured of receiving a free lunch at the work site and T-shirt.

If a carpool is all you need to sign up then I'll gladly take you along. I'm co-sponsoring this event for the AAC so short of the flu I'll be there. Send me a PM/email to coordinate. Cheers!

PS - have room for two more from Denver...

I'm in Denver and am very interested in attending as well.

Excellent! Let Greg know if you haven't already. "Greg Sievers at g_sievers57@q.com , or 970-586-4075"

I still have some space in my vehicle if anyone is on the fence. Cheers!

Thanks to everyone who showed up yesterday. We had close to 50 volunteers! It was a beautiful day to trail build. If you didn't make it this year we will be back next October. Cheers!

Rockin' good time with a great bunch of folks - and the food and shwag wasn't bad either. Sign me up for next year and if I wear out all those t-shirts by then a new passle of them will be welcome!
