🦺 Call for Power Carrier Drivers! 🦺
At our last work party, our drivers walked over a mile round-trip to deliver a single load of rock sand from the Elk Trail Head to the southwest side of Hill Creek Trail. One of our drivers calculated that they walked over 10 miles! whew! 😅
At our April work parties, there is a whole lot more walk’n and driv’n to do. We are looking for people who have been trained on the power carriers to help us out.
For safety and health of our hard-working crew, we would like to split the day: 6 drivers in the morning, 6 (fresh) drivers after lunch.
If you are ready to roll, reach out to JT@SkagitTrailBuilders.org. We want you on the schedule!
