TN/NC BMTA WORK TRIP
Saturday, January 24, 2008

BMT Section 12d - McFarland Road (FS 23) to White Oak Flats Road (FS 103) at Lost
Creek Campground (Distance 3.9 miles). We will go in from the McFarland Road trail
crossing and log out and cut brush to standards with chain saws and gas-powered
brush cutters as far down the trail as possible, hopefully all the way to White Oak Flats
Road. Much of this section is on an old gated forest service road which will probably
need little work, so we should be able to make it all the way through. We will also hope
to put in a sign post at a frequently missed right turn in a clearing about half way down
this trail.

MEETING LOCATION: We will meet at the entrance to the Lost Creek Campground on
White Oak Flats Road at 8AM but will park our shuttle cars where the trail leaves the
road about a half mile west of the campground. We will then carpool to the McFarland
Road trail crossing. We may be able to have some people meet us at McFarland Road
trail crossing at 9AM without first going to Lost Creek. We will work this out once we
know who is coming.

LEADER: Rick Harris, 423-253-6358 (home); 513-260-1184 (cell), HarrisRi@aol.com.
Please notify Rick in advance of the work trip of your plans to come and what tools
you will be bringing.

BRING: Chain saw if chain saw certified. We need gas powered brush cutters as well.
Also, loppers and swing blades can be used. Bring gloves and safety glasses and a
helmet if you have one. We have a few helmets to loan out. Bring lunch and water.

BMT Section 12e - White Oak Flats Road (FS 103) near Lost Creek Campground to
near Reliance (Total distance about 4.0 miles, but only about 2.7 miles will require
maintanence). We will go in from the White Oak Flats Road trail crossing near Lost
Creek Campground and log out and cut brush to standards with chain saws and
gas-powered brush cutters as far down the trail as possible, hopefully all the way to
the point where we meet the forest service road near Reliance, a distance of about
2.7 miles. The first 0.3 miles along White Oak Flats Road and the last mile along
FS 173 will not require any work since it follows a roadbed which is kept clear for
vehicles. Much of this section is on an old unmaintained roadbed along the banks
of Lost Creek which horse riders often help clear out for their use, so we should be
able to make it all the way through. We will end our day at the maintained forest service
road 173 near Reliance where we will have shuttle cars parked.

MEETING LOCATION: We will meet at the railroad trestle by the canoe livery in Reliance
at 8AM and park some cars as far up FS 173 as we can go, then shuttle to the Lost
Creek Campground on White Oak Flats Road, arriving there about 9AM. We may be able
to have some people meet us at the Lost Creek Campground at 9AM without first going
to Reliance. We will work this out once we know who is coming.
