Please check your e-mail or PTR Facebook posts on Saturday morning to ensure nothing has caused the cancellation of the workday! Forest or weather conditions have a more likely impact in August.

You will need any vehicle/motorcycle to travel mostly together South on Senator/52 about 6.5 miles.

Bottom to Top group; South on Senator/52, veer to the right at the cattle guard to STAY on Senator at 3.5 miles, at 6.5 miles Venezia Trail 381 is on your right, easy to miss though, if you end up at Palace Station U-turn back 1.5 miles. You can walk or ride your MC UP the trail ½ to ¾ miles from here to do mostly Manzanita trimming. UTV will bring tools, hard hats, etc. to this trail head. Bring your own water.

Top to Bottom group; 3 or 4 guys only and you must carry the PTR breakdown tools to add some water drains, and a bit of trimming. South on Senator/52, veer to the right at the cattle guard to STAY on Senator at 3.5 miles, at 3.9 miles veer right on 52B. Continue on 52B for .3 miles, then turn left on 81 to Golden Eagle Mine, then stay left again at another .3 miles on Ash Creek Ridge/70. Another 2 miles of Jeep Road and you dead-end into Venezia Trail 381. Ride your MC DOWN this more-difficult trail from here. Bring your own water. We will catch up with the rest of the group by continuing DOWN the trail to Senator, working along the way. Sandwich lunch is provided by PTR back at the trailer about Noon(ish)
