REI Fall Mega Event 09/28/2013 08:00:00 AM Construction Save the date or go ahead and sign up for the REI Mega Event to be held on National Public Lands Day weekend – September 27th through the 29th, 2013. We expect a big crowd so check your calendars and sign up. How many of you have camped at the Wild Boar Campground at Council Bluff Lake, south of Potosi? If so, you know what a neat place it is: Quiet with secluded campsites on a high ridge overlooking the lake below. And there will be good food, music, a raffle, bonfire and a million twinkling stars in a black sky at night. It is a little primitive compared with our last several Megas at Bass River Resort: No grocery store and vault toilets only - but a great place for tent camping. A new shower house at the beach should be available to clean up. With OTA headquarters at the campground, our volunteers will continue construction on a 1.25 mile long, hand-built trail above the Telleck Creek valley - that empties into Council Bluff Lake. This event is going to take a little extra physical effort. We’ll need to walk in to the construction site – two to four miles round trip with a moderate grade - carrying tools in both hands. Secondly, this trail needs to be built on a steep slope. It’s not dangerous, but some of the terrain is steeper than some of our volunteers are used to. Those who don’t mind the challenges - go right ahead and sign up. If, however, you’d rather help with a less strenuous trail project, there will be plenty of other events on the OTA website from which you can choose. See the More Info link for details. |
