Description

This trip will be dedicated to delivering and installing a fire ring and privy maintenance at Helvey's Mill Shelter in Bland county. There won't be too much hiking as we'll be able to drive pretty close to the site thanks to a local landowner giving us access to his forest road. There will be lifting of a heavy object and shuffling it to the shelter. Privy work is dirty work but we'll wear proper PPE and have the royal throne smelling like roses. No previous experience is required. We'll provide training and proper protective gear (gloves, hard hats, eye protection).


Driving Directions

It will take about 1 hr 15 min to drive to the site.
