Whatever the case, join us at the West Carry Pond Campsite on May 24 for a workshop designed for campsite maintainers! We'll cover the 11 essential steps of a maintenance visit and even tackle a few tasks together.
Rainbow Stream Privy Haul and Site Prep
The Rainbow Stream campsite is getting a new privy, and we need your help! On May 31 - June 1 we'll need all the shoulders we can get to haul the lumber and materials to the campsite. We'll also do the site prep which will involve felling some trees and digging to get a flat surface. Access involves about 1.1 miles of hiking with negligible elevation gain (it's basically flat!). The group will car camp nearby.

Baldpate and Hall Mountain Campsites Privy Builds
We're building new privies at the Baldpate and Hall Mountain campsites this summer, and need your help! The plan is for the materials to be helicoptered to these sites on one day in early August; we'll build them after that. Access to either campsite involves about 2.5 of miles of hiking with ~1,700 feet of elevation gain. Please join us! Those of you involved in past projects can attest to the camaraderie, satisfaction, and good fun with these projects!
