Clearing trail



 Heidi wrote:=20

Unfortunately, Bob makes a good point here.  I don't know of too many =
other
mid-40's ladies such as myself who will load up a pack horse with =
chainsaw,
saw gas, etc., and take off alone, ponying said pack horse down the =
trail for
a dawn-til-dusk day clearing trail.  I was heartened several months ago =
when
Debby Lyons talked about a light model of chain saw that she can carry =
easily
on her saddle.  Ladies, if we want our trails, we have to roll up our =
sleeves
and do the work.  Otherwise, the powers that be will do all they can to =
close
trails that are not maintained...


[Alison Farrin]  Well, you will find me (mid-40's lady) out several =
times in the spring clearing trail - but I drag along a troop of Boy =
Scouts.  May I suggest that those of you who need help clearing trails =
approach your local Boy Scout Roundtable which meets every month and has =
representatives from all the troops in the district there.  the scouts =
get service hours credit and if you take them out on a 5 or 10 mile hike =
to get to wherever you are clearing trail they get credit for that too.  =
Its a good way to get lots of help when you are clearing trail
