LCC mini-project, June 13
Posted: June 4th, 2009
On June 13, 2009, the SLCA will be sponsoring another mini-project in LCC to tackle grafitti removal at the vandalized Beer Can Cave boulder, along with a much needed trail maintenance project on the access trail to the Syringe Boulder and some touch-up work on the Egg Trail. The main goal is to clean up the Beer Can Cave Boulder and any other graffiti around the park and ride, and get some check dams built on the access trail to mitigate the erosion. We will be meeting at the LCC Park and Ride at 7:00 am and will go probably all day or until the main projects are completed. We need volunteers!
Email SLCA Projects Manager Jeff Porucznik, <jeff at saltlakeclimbers dt org> to volunteer.
