Recently, a volunteer crew dug holes at McBride and Ten Gallon for kiosk installation, but we ran into some large rocks at Ten Gallon that prevented us from finishing. So, Kyle from Trail Labs helped out with his excavator (see pics). Those rocks don’t look very big, but they’re impossible to pull out of a hole with shovels and rock bars.
We’re planning to install the first kiosk (out of five planned for the new Gateway System) at Ten Gallon this Thursday, August 31, at 9 am. Let’s meet at the Ten Gallon Trailhead: head up Everitt Memorial Hwy. When you pass McBride Campground, go 2.5 miles further and turn right on the short, paved apron which turns to a gravel road (I’ll leave an orange ribbon on a piece of rebar at that right turn). Travel about a quarter mile on that gravel road and it will open up into a large parking area at Ten Gallon. We’ll be at that spot.
I will have the kiosk steel posts, cement, and tools. Please bring 5 gallons of water if you can (to mix cement and clean up the tools). It will be fun…really!
