The good news, trail construction, realignment and improvement will happen this Thursday and Friday, the 12 and 13th. Sorry for the short notice but the equipment and personal just came available and it's to good to pass up.
The bad news, my main man at BLM and the moving force behind the grants and improvements is departing for a warmer climate, Bret, you will be missed.
The ugly, there isn't any.
If you are able to clear your schedule and help out we'll be up at Radar about 8am both days. |

Sorry to miss this Gunrunner but work calls and as you know work is in short supply these days. Good luck with the build and make it nasty. Not all of it but some. A little nasty once in awhile is fun.  |
Hey, I bet I can fix that! |

We added about 3 1/2 miles of trail to the existing Radar OHV area on November 12th and 13th. Trail expansion was undertaken as a part of the effort to reduce trespass by providing loop routes back into the OHV area where existing routes cross onto private land. The expansion was put together on short notice by Brett Page, BLM recreation planner, when funding and resources became available. Moisture content on the ground seemed right, so we moved quickly in an attempt to beat the winter freeze. As it turns out, the expansion was accomplished in an early winter storm with temperatures below freezing, snow on the ground and near blizzard conditions. HCHDW provided 27 hours of effort during the 2 day event with special recognition going to Jason Ward for his efforts in flagging routes. Many more hours were donated over the last year by HCHDW members exploring potential routes and identifying needs. HCHDW’s wish to thank Brett Page and Mark Myers for their efforts under very difficult conditions in completing this phase of the project. When the grounds thaw a little we will sign the new routes and GPS them for future mapping. Two additional routes were planned but will have to be completed at a later date. The routes are all within the footprint of the existing OHV area.

| Met the new BLM recreation planner for the OHV area this morning and spent about 3 hours in the jeep showing him the area and talking about the history. Seems we can move forward with signage and he is getting us some more supplies and information posters for the kiosk. |
