CONSERVATION/STEWARDSHIP
June 7, Sat. – Church Creek Trail. Backcountry trail maintenance at Olympic National Forest for National Trails Day on the Church Creek Trail, Trail #871. This is a beautiful trail that needs attention before it reverts to forestland. Work will include trail clearing, removing fallen trees, brushing and some tread repair to areas damaged by erosion. This trail provides an interesting diversity of terrain including an old-growth forest with huge trees, a surprise overlook of an interesting gorge, waterfalls, lakes and who knows what else. The Olympia Branch adopted the trail in 2005 and began a multi-year project to help restore this beautiful, short connector trail. The trail connects the Skokomish and the Wynochee watersheds, so it involves climbing to the drainage divide (1400’ elevation gain). Backcountry trail maintenance requires your 10 essentials, water, lunch, work boots (hiking boots are great) and work gloves (leather or other durable material). The Branch can supply several hand tools for brushing and tread repair. To help, you can bring your tools for working in and on the trail surface. Meet at Mud Bay P&R off State Route 101 at 7:45 a.m. Carpool to Church Creek. Return around 5:30 p.m. Contact: Jim French, 360-754-6551 or E-mail: jimfrenchwa@comcast.net.
For information on leading hikes and other questions, please contact Mike Kretzler, Hikes Chair, 360-866-4497 or E-mail: mkretzler@comcast.net.

Sea
Kayak Trips
Trips are open to all Mountaineers who have graduated from the basic course or been granted equivalency. Trips are classified by the Sea Kayak (SK) rating system.

May 31, Sat. – Boston Harbor Convergence Zone (SK II+) ~ 8 nm. At any given time of the day or night, water from numerous inlets and bays to the north, south, and west try to simultaneously funnel through this five-way intersection. For this reason, it is a very dynamic and beautiful place. We’ll launch from Boston Harbor and let the weather dictate where we go. If it’s a nice day, we’ll head for the south end of Squaxin and then Hope Is. before returning. If weather is lousy, we can explore the nooks and crannies along Budd Inlet.

Henry Romer, 360-357-7638.
June 21, Sat. – Anderson Island (SK II+) 14-15 nm. Anderson Island paddle with lunch stop on Eagle Island. We’ll meet at Luhr Beach about 9:00 a.m. and plan on paddling by 9:30 a.m. or so.

No need to sign up – just bring your required gear and be ready to launch at 6: 00 p.m. from the boat ramp at Boston Harbor. Actual destination will be selected by group consensus under leader direction/discretion. If you want more information, please contact Bob Burreson, 360-705-2055. Otherwise, just show up.
