TRAIL  INFORMATION: Nimiipuu Trail to Dug BAR

  PROJECT MAP 

PROJECT DETAILS:   We will split our group and drop 1/2 at the place just north of Cow Creek where the trail takes off from the road and have them hike up over Lone Pine Saddle and around to the brushy draw above the water troughs.  The second 1/2 of the group would drive the vehicles to that point and park them.  Then the second 1/2 of the group would hike up to the trail, clear brush from the trail where it crosses the draw and then hike around to Dug Bar.  The first 1/2 of the group would hike down from the trail to the vehicles and drive them to Dug Bar to pick up the other 1/2 of the group.  This plan sounds more complicated than it is!  I have attached a PDF map at the bottom of this email.  You can load it on your smartphone with Avenza Maps or Gaia Maps to use it as a GPS.  

Primary work to be done is:

• Minor tread work and rock kicking

• Brush removal from the draw crossing

• Water drainage on the end near Dug Bar

• And marking the trail so folks don't get off on cow trails.

I hope that you are not too disappointed that we will skip the big blackberry bramble for now!  Let's plan to meet at the Joseph City Parking Lot at 7 am to arrange carpooling.  Bring a lunch, water, tick spray, and your gloves, boots, long pants and long-sleeved shirt.
