TRAIL MACHINES
Donations have made it possible for our organization to acquire a few trail machines that make it possible for our volunteers to be exponentially more effective in maintaining the trails that we love!
We now have a track dumper, similar to what the Forest Service uses to service gravel trails. This machine can haul 3 ton of gravel into the forest at one time. As long as it is a Forest Service numbered designated trail, we can use this machine to fix mud holes.
Please text Terry Wheeler at 678-925-6960 or by Messenger with places that need this type of work. He will need a GPS point to know where work is needed. This will be done on a first come, first served basis. He will put your info on a list and work from that.
All this work is volunteer! If you like seeing this machine working on trails, please consider helping us by either joining the STC or donating to us. This money will go directly toward the cost of owning and operating these and other trail machines. We will also be able to buy additonal gravel, as the FS does not always have the funds to provide rock.
We also have purchased a mini excavator to repair trails that erode before rock can be spread on them with the track dumper.
This excavator gives us the ability to repair a trail ourselves to lay a solid foundation to spread rock. Before we raised the funds for the excavator, we had to wait for on the Forest Service to do repairs before we could spread gravel. In many cases, the Forest Service's response doesn't come in a timely manner.
*The track dumper is operated only on trails that have been constructed with a machine. It is 3 ft wide and 5 ft long. There may be some designated trails that would be too narrow or steep for the machine.
