Trail Work Party - Beacon Rock
From WTA news release:
Our work party will start at 8:30 am at the Equestrian Camp at Beacon Rock. From there we'll carpool to the Hardy Ridge Trailhead.
The road may be slippery as it has been regraded recently, but not graveled, so we'll need to carpool in as many 4WD vehicles as we can. Typically we work until 3:00.
On Saturday night we'll host a potluck dinner, campfire and camp out. All are invited to stay for dinner and camping.
Here is the direct link to sign up: http://old.wta. org/~wta/ cgi-bin.dev/ wtaweb.pl? 6+su+display+ 16740+ON
Pre-registration is not required, but is helpful for planning the amount of food to bring. (I think the Crew Lead, Henry, will be doing Spaghetti).
We'll be working both Saturday and Sunday; volunteers are welcome on either day or both.
We'll provide the tools and hardhats. Participants need to bring boots to work in, work gloves, long pants and a shirt with long sleeves, raingear, lunch (and a pack to carry their stuff in).
I'm happy to answer calls or emails if folks have questions.
Cheers, Ryan

Abandoned Horse Auction
It seems like there are horses in need everywhere right now. Just looking at Craigslist shows the sad state of the horse economy in our area.
But during this hard time, it's also an opportunity for us to open our hearts and minds and help some amazing horses have another shot at life.
