Skid on This!

Here’s a shot of the new rock armoring on the 7 Steps Trail. What will archeologists 200 years from now make of this?

7 Steps Trail
Skid on This!

Forgot to get a picture, but Bike Carson would like to welcome the new tenants on the Creek Trail! Half way down the Creek Trail, when the trail joins the road, watch out for a tent smack dab in the middle of the trail. It’s been there for a couple days now, and they even had a fire going once. They’ve done nice rock work for their front porch (formerly the trail). Please bring them a house warming gift if you get a chance.

P.S. Still working on the Oakland post…

    I know exactly what they’ll make of it. They’ll say, “it must have been monkeys in action.” Click my name to see for yourself!!!!!!!!

  2. Rog and Lu says:

    No way campers on Creek trail!!!!
    They probably think they are in the deep woods.
    Until a MTBr comes wizzing by
    Yo Yo Whatz Up Homie

  3. Lester says:

    Do rocks thrown from the road above count as gifts? BIG ROCKS!

    Yeah Yeah I know we wouldn’t want the same done to us as we ride the trail but think abut one thing Carson City. Where do you think these guys are relieving themselves? My bet is right into the creek!

  4. Rog and Lu says:

    Nice work Boyz on the armoring on 7 steps Love it.
    Who is doing that ?
    Must be Sage dwarfs………………………

  5. brian says:

    Archeologists: As you can see from the poor workmanship and erratic nature of the stone patterning, these were primative peoples. And as a result of their low intelligence and lack of basic tools, it is not surprising that their species did not survive.
    So in conclusion I remind you, never send a human to do a monkey’s job.
    P.S. Excellent work fellas! :^)

  6. The Monkey says:

    Ash Canyon B&B update:
    The B&B’s tent has been removed from it’s previous location. It now rests 50′ to the east, next to the large pine tree. Toilet paper litters the area in front of their camp.

  7. xdscott says:

    bear in mind, that tent could merely be advance base camp for the group attempting both summits of Snow Valley Peak (as preparation for the dual summit attempt of Kilimanjaro and subsequent bridge building between the two).

  8. Rog and Lu says:

    I sent N.D.F. up to make sure our campers are not going to burn down the rest of Ash Canyon.
    I was told you can camp anywhere . However you can not have any type of fire that creates an ash. So Mike is going to send someone up there to check um out.
    LuLu you a such a snitch.
    Maybe they might move before I get up there tonight. I will bring a garbage bag with, to clean up if need be.
    Or I will e-mail the Sage Dwarfs to do it for me.

  9. Jeff Moser says:

    I don’t suppose they have installed an composting toilet, huh? That little area is going to start stinking pretty soon…

  10. xdscott says:

    look for sterno cans, rog.

  11. Rog and Lu says:

    I ran up there got a picture of our campers check it out

  12. Jeff Moser says:

    Ha ha ha ha ha! That’s them all right!

  13. Lester says:

    Anyone have a skeet launcher and a few dozen eggs?

  14. Jeff Moser says:

    I had fully planned to get a picture today, but there was just too much going on. Like “The Monkey” says above, the tent is now down off the road. The camper(s) had visitors today. At first I thought it was the 6 dogs wagon. Turned out to be some other dudes, and they were chatting with the camping dude(s). Wasn’t conducive to staring or taking pictures. We just rolled through and kept going.

  15. Lester says:

    This could get ugly! What these “campers” are looking for is running water. Something that is no longer happening over on the river side of town. Once word gets out that the water is actually moving on Ash there is a good chance more will leave their dumps near the river and re-locate. With them comes their trash and alcohol and drugs and everything else.

    Did their visitors have transportation?

  16. brian says:

    I don’t know why, but I keep hearing the theme song from the Good, the Bad and the Ugly when I read this.
    (Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo in case you were wondering)

  17. Jeff Moser says:

    Yeah, I guess I wasn’t real clear. The visitors were in a Toyota. The camper didn’t seem to be what I picture as a “homeless” person. I really didn’t get a good look though. Trying not to run over people and stuff…

  18. xdscott says:

    brian, you could be on to something. moser, did they look italian? did one of ‘em look like that ragazza with the big cans from Il Postino?

  19. Jeff Moser says:

    More like Carmine Ragusa from Laverne and Shirley. You know, the Big Ragu?

  20. Rog and Lu says:

    My O My
    I am on my way To visit the camp site
    Hope they have some scraps for LuLu

  21. Rog and Lu says:

    They are no longer camping on Creek Trail. A couple of cigarette butts and pull tabs is all that’s left.

  22. Lester says:

    Garbage In … Garbage Out!

    See Ya Campa

  23. brian says:

    Cigarettes and pull tabs. Wasn’t that the name of the last Motley Crue album?

  24. Jesse! says:

    Those pull tabs were from me actually. I like to drink Burgie! and ride down the creek trail at least once a week. It makes my mustache grow a little bushier than without.

  25. Rog and Lu says:

    I thought it was Van Inhalan’s new album

  26. Lester says:

    Trash is cleaned up…fire ring is scattered…wood collection is scattered.

    Anyone wanna help haul the chair out?

    Wood is also back on the fire road that connects Ash Canyon to 4-day after someone drove up and cleared a path for vehicles.

  27. 6dogs says:

    I’ll help with the chair. Scumfish wants it.

    i

  28. Lester says:

    We just need a day and time…I’ll bring the truck…someone can add it to their yard or to the dump it can go.

  29. Rog and Lu says:

    I say we rehang it on the lone tree and put a seat on it

  30. Jeff Moser says:

    I like that idea! It was better up there than down by the creek.

  31. Lester says:

    I saw something new in Ash Canyon today.

    A shuttle system at work.

    Three guys…two trucks. One parked at the holding ponds near bottom of Creek Trail. The other driven up to the Creek drop in. They unloaded rode down and a short time later were driving back up in the other vehicle. WOW…yes the Creek is a blast to go down but come on!!! The climb isn’t that bad!!

  32. Smudgemo says:

    “The climb isn’t that bad!!”

    You obviously are not a downhiller.

  33. brian says:

    Climbing is half the fun. Climbing will put hair on your chest. Climbing separates the men from the boys. Climbing will free your soul. I climb, therefore I am.

  34. lester says:

    I wouldn’t exactly call these guys down hillers either. At least based on their bikes. Just standard mountain bikes. One even a hard tail.

  35. Rog and Lu says:

    I want in on this Shuttle thing maybe we can build a Rope Tow.
