Governor Dick Trail 15 cleanup.... PDF Print E-mail

Hello everyone,
 
I am quite pleased to announce that the multi-use trails at Governor Dick are open and mostly cleared of trees / branches / debris.  Amazingly, with Matt McElheny and Brad Ditzler operating the chain saws we were able to clear trail #15.  Additional volunteers cleared the cut trees and branches working together like a finely oiled machine.  Also, a small re-route was completed.  Special thanks to:  Janie Gockley, Sarah Shirk, Michael Cina, Steve Mongold, Brad Ditzler, Matt McElheny and to our neighboring tree pro Jim Eppley for lending us his 24" saw that my hubby Matt handled like a pro. 
 
I am also pleased to say there is no need to schedule a work day for July 3rd or the 10th.  Everyone enjoy the holiday weekend and be safe.
 
Desiree and Matt

Hello SAMBA! 

I just wanted to pass on a quick SAMBA News update.  

SWATARA STATE PARK

·         The Tuesday night rides are still leaving at 6pm from the trailhead at the end of State Park Lane. All riders are welcome!

·         Come Tame The Jungle! Trimming Thursdays continue this Thursday, 6-24 & 7-1, from 6pm till 8. The idea is to keep the singletrack flowing and still be able to see other users ahead of you. I will be bringing tools, but if you want to bring a trimmer it's ok. There is poison out there, so long pants are recommended. If you can make it please let me know (click here to send a message). Thanks to Nick & Terry Resanovich, Mike Carter, Mark Light, and Andrea Strubhar for helping out so far.

·         Name That Trail. DCNR is looking to SAMBA to name the trails we built at Swatara State Park. So send your name suggestions for any or all of the trails to me (click here to send a message). You have till the first week in July and then I will put a poll up for each trail for all to vote on. I’ll send out an email when the polls are up. If you need a map, click here.

Look out for the Get Your Ride On messages for random rides also.

See you out on the trail!    

Brian Arnold, SAMBA President

 

 
CAMP MACK- TURKEY SEASON PDF Print E-mail
Written by Matt Myers

Spring Turkey starts this Saturday, April 24th with the mentored youth program
Regular Spring Turkey season runs from May 1 - May 31.
The hunting is limited to the mornings until noon.
We ask that you please limit Saturday riding to the pm hours.
The Hunters wait all year for this season and staying out of the woods will go a long way to keep the BSA-SAMBA-Hammer Creek Hunt Club relationship strong.

Special thanks to Mike at Green Mountain Cyclery for purchasing the NO HORSE signs and continued support of SAMBA and Camp Mack.
