The Los Padres National Forest (all Southern California Natl Forests!) is closed to the general public, but FS sanctioned volunteer events like this Saturday's Snyder (Knapps) trail maintenance event is still authorized in the forest!
So, since you can't hike, ride, or horse on LP trails right now, come out and move some dirt on Snyder trail! We will be repairing sections of the Snyder trail bed that where removed by the fire dozers during the Zaca fire. Those of you who like to dig in the dirt and those who have dirt shaping experience...this is your time to come out and put some time in. There is no poison oak involved in this event. This event is the first Snyder trail "recovery" event and after the rainy season there may be opportunities to make this an excellent multi-use trail. Your participation is important!
We will be carpooling to the either the lower or upper trail head and then driving in the tools and crew on the newly graded "road". 4x4 vehicles are required to drive in - bring one or grab a ride in one for the event.
Meet: 8:30 at the Sears parking lot near the corner of La Cumbre and Calle Real. We will be carpooling.
Work: Snyder (Knapps) trail - repairing trailbed damaged by fire dozers.
Afterwards: 3:00 Late lunch of BBQ chicken, beans and rice. Sponsored by Santa Barbara Chicken Ranch.
Bring: Snacks, water, long pants, work shoes, gloves, bike helmet (we will supply helmets also).
