Meeting Time: 8:00 AM

Max # People: 15

Trip Guiding / Event Fee: No, I will not be asking participants for money

Difficulty Level: Moderate

Rock 'N River provides free lodging for the weekend for all participants. The first 8 people who indicate they would like a bunk bed will get one; everyone else can pitch a tent in our yard. We provide a basic breakfast on Saturday and a fabulous mountain breakfast on Sunday. You are on your own for lunch. Whether you spend an overnight with us or not, everyone is invited after Trail Maintenance on Saturday to our kickin' HUNGRY MOUNTAIN MAN BBQ Feast. This Hungry Mountain Man BBQ Feast is the sort of meal you'd expect to get from a high end restaurant and includes salad, entree and one of Jon's famous desserts!  Please note that the weekend is BYOB. 

You'll also be eligible for a free White Mountain National Forest parking pass after 16 hours of work [we take care of the recordkeeping]. 

The work itself, clipping brush, cleaning out waterbars, and clearing small to medium blowdowns, is fairly easy. But keep mind you will be hiking up a mountain and working at the same time. It involves hiking 7 miles, climbing 2,025 feet and lots of bending up/down to clip brush. If it becomes too much for you, you can turn around on your own and perform a 'second trail maintenance sweep' on the way down. That's OK. You can wait for us back at the cars. You don't have to be an expert to help and we can easily train you. All tools are provided. 

This is a rain or shine event, so watch the sky, and bring appropriate clothing. Bring work gloves. If you have loppers please bring them. Please dress for all weather conditions. Bring plenty of water, daypack, and lunch. Hiking boots are recommended. 

Before the BBQ we'll hang out on our riverside outdoor deck with fabulous views of Sandwich Mountain for drinks and appetizers. After dinner we'll have a roaring campfire. 

It’s an experience we promise you’ll never forget. We are fortunate to be part of a club of gay men that have the opportunity to go hiking regularly to take in the beauty of the White Mountains. Now we have the opportunity to be a part of doing something to give back to the hiking community, while working on something we love...hiking trails...and helping make them a place where both ourselves and others can enjoy. We are looking forward to fun, hard work, comraderie, new skills and friendships!
