Let's do it! We were thinking mid-August for Swamp or Coyote but haven't nailed anything down yet.

First trail I ever did was Dusy/Ershim. It was an amazing time. Started with 13 rigs and only 7 finished. My old 88 yj was one that finished and I was proud of it and myself. I did damage two tires but luckily there were plenty of spares.

I love that area and hope to plan a trip this year.

They're posted in our clubs forum without problems. :thinking:

Edit: By the time I posted this all the pictures were proper size, just takes more time I guess.

Last weekend.

We got both toilets moved over the weekend, also added one window each, and door locks, neither had one unless you count the rope on one.

Big tubes keep the holes from caving in.


Jackhammer is in the wooden box.


Hooking up to pull a rock out of the hole.


Running jackhammer.




We had extra help for the day Saturday.


The woman we can all thank for doing such a nice job cleaning the toilets, floors, etc.

Didn't realize how much effort people put into prepping trails for us to drive on. Definitely appreciative.

Yes, there's lots of work involved getting the trails open each year.

Toilet movings vary depending on how much use the trail gets. The toilets on Swamp were put in in 07, and this was the first time they needed to be moved. At least it didn't happen on a year with a large number of trees down across the trail, this was a light year. The club currently has 15 toilets on our 61 miles of trails.
