Hi Dirk and all,

Below is the event description and registration for the Hiking Club work day on Oct. 12. Please share with the club and if you could encourage them register through the link that will help us get a headcount and know what to expect in terms of PPE and tools. Please look the event over and let me know if I'm missing anything. Folks are also more than welcome to join us overnight or just for the day for the subsequent backcountry event during which we'll continue to work on Greenhouse. Details for that are in the second link below.

Thanks!

Dirk, 

That works perfectly. We'll do this in lieu of an additional front country weekend event on Greenhouse. I'll get back to you shortly here with an event description/registration to see if we can drum up any additional support as well as for you to share internally with the hiking club folks. 

We can follow the same format as last time and meet at the Silver Peak TH and then carpool and caravan over to the Greenhouse Trailhead. We can start at 7 again unless with the cooler temps the club would prefer to start a little later.

Thanks for getting back to me Luke. Our plan at the hiking group has been to have recurring monthly trail maintenance days on the 2nd Thursdays of each month. So if we're to fall in line with that scheme October 12th would be the second Thursday. If that works for Wild Arizona then let's use that date.

I think a Thursday Hiking Club event would complement the weekend event very well. Since the overnight is coming down from the top, perhaps for a Thursday we could hike up from the bottom. On the surface either the 5th or 12th would work just as well. Perhaps the 12th is easier to make it all one trip. Are either of those better for the Hiking Club? 

Copying Sam here as he's beginning to take on some volunteer coordination work and may be hosting the Greenhouse event.

Hi Luke

 For the Greenhouse event you're setting up for October, if you wanted to include the Hiking Group again it would need to be either Thursday the 5th or the following week the 12th. Weekends are better for WA but for Portal volunteers Thursdays are best.
