January 2022 Trail Work Day
January 8, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm MST
When: 9:00am Saturday January 8th, 2022
PNF trail #129 Buzzard Trail, near Wilhoit, #72 & 91712E
Happy New Year PTR. In keeping with our 2nd Saturday of the month schedule for trail work, we’re planning our first workday of 2022 this Saturday, January 8th, at 9:00AM. We will stage just north of Burro Inn on Hwy 89 in Wilhoit.
Remember, check your email or Facebook on Saturday morning to make sure that no weather/fire/flood/pandemic or whatever unknown condition has caused a cancellation of the workday!
South from Prescott on 89/White Spar, 13.8 miles past Copper Basin Road/Safeway store to Mile Marker 295.5, Wilhoit. Big tree and parking area on the left or South side. That is where the PTR trailer will be and we meet to have our safety meeting at 9:00am.
You will then need your 4WD, UTV, ATV or motorcycle to travel mostly together 4.5 miles Southeast on 72, which is a mostly graded smooth(ish) road, to unmarked PNF jeep road 9712E (coordinates 34.38626, -112.54483). Turn left or East onto 9712E and cross the now dry Hassayampa river, follow this road into the wash to a cowboy gate at about 0.6 miles (last thru close the gate please) and then about an additional 0.5 miles to the PNF 129 trail head on the right (coordinates 34.38632, -112.53203). We will disperse tools at that point and you can start hiking up the trail. The first 300 yards need brushing, then mostly tread work with some brushing and limb removal for the next ½ mile or more, depending on how many guys we have to work.
Bring your own water for the trail and for lunch. Sandwich lunch is provided by PTR!
Start with mandatory safety meeting at 9:00AM at the PTR trailer (PTR will supply hard hats, we are running low on glasses and gloves though, bring your own if you have them please. A bicycle helmet is fine)
