Muscle Powered Carson City

Here are a couple of upcoming trail work opportunities. First up…

Max adding the finishing touch to a switchback on the HLT

Friday, Sept 2nd – Hobart Link Trail Workday
From Bill the Ranger:
This trail will be a beautiful and fun multi use but mostly mtn biking alternative to the steep, hot, dusty Sunflower Hill Rd. The trail is close to half done and we are excited to be building the first trail in the park primarily designed for biking so please join us!

Meet at: Lakeview Gate in Lakeview subdivision just north of Carson City – follow Hobart road uphill to gate. We will gather here and caravan up to the work site.

Time: 8am – 3pm

Clothing/misc: long pants, work shirt, hat, water, lunch, sun lotion, boots

Tools/supervision: Parks will provide

Transportation: you may drive your 4×4 or team up with another volunteer

Exit time: we should be finishing up at roughly 3-3:30pm and then caravanning out.

And on the following day…

Donna and Charlette hiking to the worksite on Aug25th

If you’re late, follow the trail behind the kiosk and walk almost one mile up to the end of the trail where we are working.

No experience needed. Work as long as you like. Cold drinks provided. Bring a lunch.

Required work wear are long pants, long-sleeved shirts, sunglasses for eye protection, hiking shoes and work gloves. Tools and hard hats are provided.

Help build the Sierra Canyon Trail that connects to the Tahoe Rim Trail and Carson Valley Discovery Trail!

We’re not building the Kings Canyon to Ash Canyon Trail just yet (there are still a few details to work out with the City), but that doesn’t mean we can’t help our neighbors build trail.

Volunteers are needed to help the Carson Valley Trails Association build the Genoa Foothill Trail project. Trail building work days are scheduled for the following dates:
Saturday, August 20
Thursday, August 25
Tuesday, August 30
Friday, September 2
Time and location for all of these work days:
8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Sierra Canyon, located 0.5 mi. north of Genoa, then west on Centennial Dr. and north on Snowshoe Ln. Parking is at the junction of Centennial Dr. and Snowshoe Ln. No previous trail building experience needed. Work for all or part of the day. Volunteers must wear long pants, long-sleeved shirt, sturdy hiking shoes or boots and glasses or sunglasses. Hard hats and tools are provided. Bring water and lunch.

Hobart Link Trail

On Friday September 2nd Nevada State Park Ranger Bill Champion is organizing a trail work day on the new Hobart Link Trail. We helped Ranger Bill on two fun, overnight backcountry camps last year, and though we’re not camping this time out, this will be just as fun and rewarding.

I plan on helping the CVTA on August 25th and Ranger Bill on September 2nd. If you would like to join me on one or both of these days please contact me at: jeffpotter@musclepowered.org
