For those of you that don’t frequent the Dirty Section.

Hold the date. Plan on fire recovery work wknd at Cow Mtn the wknd of June 1st and 2nd. Camping at the Red Mtn Campground for those wanting to stay over for both days.:thumbup

No official press release yet, but this is confirmed and an official GO. Please consider making the commitment to come up for a day or both if available. Any and all help is needed to get Cow Mtn open! Our efforts WILL make a difference in getting it opened sooner.


Volunteers are needed to come help repair fire-damaged recreation facilities and trails in the South Cow Mountain OHV Management Area on Saturday and Sunday, June 1-2, from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. each day. The OHV area has been closed since July 2018, being heavily damaged by the Mendocino Complex fires.

Helping hands are needed to install trail markers, signage, culverts and erosion control features; construct barriers; repair and maintain trails and complete trail surveys. The work will require hiking, digging, hauling and moving rocks and heavy material. The BLM will provide all necessary tools and materials.

Volunteers should check-in at 8 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, June 1st and 2nd, at the Westside Staging Area on South Cow Mountain. It is recommend that participants wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, sturdy footwear and bring sunscreen and gloves. Volunteers should also bring a lunch and plenty of water. All volunteers are welcome, whether they can help both days, just one day or only part of the day.

Tent camping will be available for volunteers at the Red Mountain Campground. Please bring a tent, camping equipment and enough food for both days, if volunteers plan to stay overnight.

I’m in for this weekend. Anyone on the fence should really consider coming to help out! The Feb work day was really fun and this time we get to camp out! Weather should be good and every hour we work gets us closer to having a local place to ride!

Just a quick note and reminder for anyone planning on attending this weekend. Volunteers must be at the Westside staging area no later than 8am.

Bring loppers. While a small handsaw can be useful, loppers get a whole lot more work done. :party
