June 23 to 25, 2006
Dana H. mustered several four-wheel drive clubs and the U.S. Forest Service
to come up to the Wentworth Springs Campground, located at the foot of the
Rubicon Trail, to restore and repair the campgrounds. Richard O and Tim W from
the Sacramento Jeepers, left Sacramento early to meet with tree cutters Tom C
and Chris S from the U.S. Forest Service and drive them and their equipment to
the campsite. Tom and Chris came out to cut down several designated trees before
any of the work crews from the four wheel drive clubs showed up
Jim and Vick D arrived Friday afternoon with
their son JD and Grandson Grayson to find the trees already cut down for Saturday's campground
restoration project.
Soon afterwards Gary K drove into the campgrounds with his camping
trailer loaded with supplies for the entire weekend
Dana H detailed some of the kids to fetch water from the creek
to refill the portable toilet
Saturday morning Tim W drove down the trail to pickup Tom C from the U.S.
Forest Service
Tom C gathered everyone and a gave a safety briefing and showed us the plans
for the campground
After everyone signed in we broke into groups and began to
restore the campground
Two of the groups used their Jeeps and winches to haul
the huge logs Tom C and Chris S of the U.S. Forest Service cut down on Friday
The kids (Sacramento Junior Jeepers) also helped by picking up
branches that
had broken off the trees and raking the restored campsites
