Long Canyon Trail Kiosk Build

As many of you know, NorCal FJs has adopted the Long Canyon Trail near Kyburz. One of the projects is to build a kiosk with trail information, our group information and whatever forest service information the FS wants to put in there.

What many of you do not know is I have been working with an Eagle Scout candidate, Matt, on building this as his Eagle project. He will be turning 18 soon and needs to get it put up before he does. He has it nearly completed and is hoping to get some of us to help him this Sunday to help dig the holes and put it up.

I will be going and depending on the FS decision, I may be able to take a small tractor up there to do the digging. But I am almost sure they will not let me do it for fire and liability reasons.

It would be really good to have a bunch of us to help out to show appreciation for Matt's work. They will feed us lunch as well.

Please let me know asap if you can help.

Trail head coordinates are approximately: 38 45 N 120 15 W

If you are running late and miss us, getting to the trail is easy.
Continue up Hwy 50 toward Tahoe, just past Kyburz (about 30 min. from Placerville) take a right on Silverfork Road
A few miles up Silverfork Road, take a left on Long Canyon trail (dirt road). We will be just off of the paved road.

You can meet me at the In-N-Out in Placerville at 9:00AM or at the trail head at 10:00AM or just show up sometime before we are done and help out. If you plan on having lunch, please RSVP so we have a head count to prepare for.
