You will then need any Jeep/RZR/quad/MC to travel together about 2.9 miles on 261/Poland Jct. Rd (re-graded just this week) to get to the intersection of 261 & 261A which is the graded road right up to the Mt. Union L.O. tower. This road is normally locked gate, but we have access this Saturday. Someone will haul our tools and PPE to this location with a Jeep/PU. We will then hike about 1/8 mile, carrying your own tools, to the work site. The Forest Service is now creating a reroute around some private land near the Mt. Union lookout tower, we will mostly be doing cleaning/buffing of the newly mini-excavator created trail. Forest personnel will be onsite providing direction in the work they want completed. Bring your own water and snacks onto the trail. You always need sturdy shoes, long pants, sleeves, gloves, eye protection, PTR hardhat or your bicycle helmet.
Sandwich lunch is provided by PTR back at the trailer about noontime.
