ANNIVERSARY Bruner — 50 years Submitted Photo Nov. 18 and 19, the Pacific Trail Riders Club and the Clatsop County Sons of Beaches Four-wheelers Motorsports Club joined forces with the Oregon State Department of Forestry to implement a work party to clean up and maintain Nicolai Mountain’s Off HighwayVehicle Trail System. OHV groups clean up trails The Daily Astorian On Nov. 18 and 19, a local group of Off High- way Vehicle (OHV) enthusi- asts, the Pacific Trail Riders Club, and the Clatsop County Sons of Beaches Four-wheel- ers Motorsports Club, joined forces with the Oregon State Department of Forestry to plan, help design, and imple- ment a work party to clean up and maintain the local off-road community trails on Nicolai Mountain’s OHV Trail System. PTRC President Brian Junes, along with Cmdr. Jay M. Pitman of the CCSOB4W, participated in the cleanup, along with ODF staff, who completed a work survey of the area, then removed shrubs and debris, utilizing local inmate work crews. The work was then turned over to both clubs to haul in rock and restructure trails for continued use throughout the winter, if conditions allow. Businesses who donated equipment were private con- tractor Jason Hughes and Don Hall of L&D Race Tech. The volunteers were Jason Hughes, Kyle Mergel, Robert Coffindaffer, Brian Bonnell, Ray Whiteside, Ian Parkins, Jerrod Mickle, Pat Hughes, Shane Mergel, Carrissa Mell, Rob Fresh, Chris Giesler, Bud Inniss, Erika McFarland and Rocky Pratt. This is the second recent gathering of these three enti- ties who are working to bet- ter local forests for outdoors- men. They also performed the Pirates Crawl Pipeline cleanup Oct. 30. This is only the beginning, Junes and Pit- man say, as they will keep working together to create a safer place for all OHV users, and continue to build relations between all who utilize the forests.
