Membership to CAMBA is FREE. All we ask is that you volunteer for one to two trail maintenance days per year or offer the equivalent in time or effort. If you have not participated in a trail maintenance or clean-up effort, you're missing out. it is tremendously rewarding.

The rebuilding of Whoopee has begun with crew of CAMBA volunteers taking a saturday in the hot sun to start digging in the trail. It was 88 degrees out there, but the crew did some corridor clearing and solid tread work on the Upper (west) reroute that will connect the pieces of singletrack that were orphaned by the logging efforts, in an attempt to make a loop system that will stay ahead of the next round of logging. The intensive logging is to clear trees infected with pine beetles.
Thanks to the crew of Scott, Rita, Wayne, Jordan, Cecily, Shane, Douglas, Arthur, Rocky, Patrick, Steve, Jill, and Chris. In a poll of attendees, we found most were there due to hearing about the workday at the recent CAMBA meeting at Double Mountain, very few had decided to come due to the email list messages. How would you prefer to hear about workdays?
Volunteers kept showing up for the Post Canyon cleanup - someone may have been able to count noses, but it wasn't me. The photo on the Hood River News site the day before probably assisted, but this workday is normally well attended. The newspaper said:
Who did it? Someone dumped this pile of trash and debris in the middle of Post Canyon Road. The crime is known as Offensive Littering, and is punishable by fines and/or jail time. Anyone with information on this or other illegal dumping is encouraged to call Hood River County's non-emergency dispatch at: (541) 386-2711.
My cleanup partner & I found a trove where someone had dumped their household trash over the embankment, and we arduously hauled the scattered garbage uphill to the road edge for the truck pickup. While gathering, I came across a prescription pill bottle, with the owner's name and address on it. We took photos in situ and turned them and the evidence over to the sherriff. Folks, if you're going to break the law, don't leave a calling card. Better still, don't be a jerk.
