Afternoon Meeting Location:
If you can’t come until later in the day or miss us,  try to contact us on the radio or by phone (cell reception is really sketchy out on the stages). You can look for us on the Egan Creek stage roads. Follow Hwy 62 south from Bancroft for about 10 km. Turn Left onto Upper Turriff Rd. Go about 10 km to the beginning of the Egan Creek roads complex.. Some of the roads that we will be working on include Swordfingal, V Lake, Grassy Lake Trail, Birch Lake Trail and Arda Trail.
Be Prepared:
Come well prepared with food,  drink and lots of warm clothing.  Gloves are advised.  If you have any tools like shovels, rakes, picks and pry bars, saws or clippers,  please bring them along.
