Get out your sunscreen and canteen and come help us repair the water source at Rattle snake spring. It has taken seven months of planning and preparation and now we need your help to get this unit working again. Working with the Park Service we have removed the old metal apron and flown in the Hypalon mat, now we need manpower to contour the ground and lay the mat. As you know, it is HOT in the desert this time of year so if we get enough help we can get the job done early and get back to camp by early afternoon. We will camp close to the site so the drive will be short and easy. The walk in is about ½ mile with only the last 300 yards somewhat steep. The materials are on site so we will only need to carry hand tools. This is the first project in the park in a long time so let’s show them what we are made of.

WHEN: Work day July 15^th. Arrive on Friday afternoon or evening to enjoy friends old and new. We will rise at daylight in order to get an early start.

WHERE: Joshua Tree National Park. There will be BLM property to camp on.  Call or email for directions.       johnnelson@ft.newyorklife.com
   

WHAT TO BRING: The usual desert necessities i.e. Water, food, hat, gloves, shovel, hoe, or other earth moving equipment.
