Come join
the Lost Coast Cachers for
their first CITO event in cooperation with Humboldt Redwoods State Park. The goal
is to clean up along Mattole Road from Cuneo Horse Camp to Albee
Creek Campground (and beyond).
We will
meet at the Cuneo Horse Camp at 9:30 a.m. for registration and
instructions. (N
40° 20.097 W 124° 2.097) Cuneo Horse Camp is about a 20-30 minute
drive from Hwy 101. The portion of road in the old growth section
is in poor shape, so drive slowly and use caution. Because of the
scheduled road closure, plan to be on Mattole Road prior to 9:00
a.m. Safety
vests, garbage bags, and "litter-getters" will be provided at
check-in.Teams (see below) will be proceed to various sections of
Mattole Road.
Cuneo
Horse Camp is located on the west side of the road closure. Limited
controlled traffic through the closed area is scheduled for 11:00
a.m. and 1:30 p.m. The road is scheduled to reopen at 4:00
p.m. The road west from Cuneo to Ferndale will remain open
(but it's a long, long trip to civilization). If you do not
expect to stay the entire day, please plan to exit the park via Hwy
101 at 11:00 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. For those that plan to remain,
there will be new geocaches to keep you busy!
Remember:
SAFETY FIRST! Two
miles of the cleanup area will be open to traffic, so always be
aware of motorists on the road. Be advised that there is
poison oak everywhere!
We will
return to the registration area to drop off the garbage bags, take
a group photo, and have a drawing for Cachekinz Travel Tags, LCCF
geocoins, and a CITO geocoin. Bring a
lunch and enjoy the afternoon.
