Wood River Cleanup 2016
Julie reported that a recent trip from the River Road to Raspberry Landing was clear paddling all the way.
1st cleanup trip is scheduled for Wednesday May 25–HWY 70 to River Road
After Julie’s report it was decided to stop at River Road road. Bob will check out the down trees on Dave Dahlberg’s property so we know what to expect there. Meet at Wild River Outfitters by 8:00 am so we can arrange boats and paddles–Jerry will supply. Bring PFD, water, food, dry clothes, hip waders, bug spray, sun screen, hat, gloves, safety goggles, etc.
So far we have the following people lined up for the trip:
⦁ Rod (& possibly Tim Dahlberg) with extension chain saw
⦁ Bob (& possibly Paul Stavne) with chain saw
⦁ Lori (& possibly Ken with chain saw)
⦁ Pam with chain saw and come along with chain & cables
⦁ Jerry (& possibly Greg Seitz) with chain saw
⦁ Julie
2nd cleanup trip Wednesday June 1, Rod and Gun Club Walk in day.
Meet at the Gun Club at 8:00 am. Club will be closed for the day. Maybe bring a lock to add to the chain so that no one comes in to shoot.

⦁ Bob (possibly two others) with chain saw

⦁ Rod with chain saw/extension and ATV if needed

Since Rod left early we did not talk about trails
We briefly talked about the bike path project being worked on by Nicki in conjunction with the American Heart Association Grant organization to evaluate our trails and bike paths. Survey has been done and suggestions made for improving crossing areas at certain intersections including D and F and HWY 70. Full report should be coming from Nicki and posted to the Website.
Guest Ken Hyatt suggested that CEO Ross Manni of Parker who is an avid cyclist might like to help with planning/financing of improved biking trails.
