TATC Cabin Work Trip - November 5-7, 2021

TATC CABIN WORK TRIP-- Nov. 5th, 6th, 7th (Friday-- Sunday); trip leader: Bob Adkisson-- 627 5514 or cabin@tidewateratc.com-- (please, you must contact me to let me know if you are interested in attending this maintenance / orientation trip to the club cabin in Nelson County, Va.- I will have a sign up sheet and will keep the number of participants low, at 8 people total; there will be a wait list if it is needed, so if you sign up and then your plans change, let the trip leader know ASAP) The Autumn trip is when we usually chainsaw firewood, cut and stack, move and split it. If anyone would like to bring their own saw, to supplement the club saw I will bring, that would be very helpful. The cabin sleeps 12 (6 upstairs, mostly in single bunks, and 6 down stairs-- though all the downstairs bunks are extra wide, for 2 people), but people can tent out nearby if they prefer. Usually there is a community meal but with things the way they are (Covid) everyone will be on their own for ALL meals. There is a 2 burner propane cookstove, and a wood burning cookstove, and all the pots/pans/dishes/cups/cutlery we will need. The cabin spring is running, so there should be water available. Bring a good sleeping bag, sleeping pad, warm clothes, work gloves, boots, and food. There may be time for a hike (with some light trail work?) Saturday afternoon, or on Sunday, if the weather is cooperative. For new members interested in qualifying to rent the club cabin on their own in the future, this is your ticket to do that-- we will make time to go over the rules and workings of the cabin, teach new members how to take care of it, open and close it, etc. ALL PARTICIPANTS NEED TO BE VACCINATED TO ATTEND THIS WORK TRIP
