April Outing report

Jawbone (Moose Anderson Days) 

April 24,25  2004      Sat.

Report by: Wayne Berg 

We arrived at 8:30 just as most of the group were leaving for Burro Schmidt's Tunnel for the clean-up, we got registered in right away and we were off to Burro Schmidt's Tunnel. We caught up to the line of people just as we turned off the highway. It was a slow but easy drive up to the tunnel. Boy did this place need a clean-up, there were mounds of broken glass and cans that were 3 feet deep. The BLM had 7 dumpsters delivered to the site earlier. As usual for a Moose Anderson Days cleanup 7  dumpsters was not enough, there was at least 6 old refrigerators. Several people including us decided to walk through the tunnel, the tunnel is about 1/2 mile long. The tunnel comes out on the south side of the mountain very high up from the floor of the valley. Back through the tunnel and then back to Jawbone station for Bar-B-Q lunch courtesy of the Kern County Sheriff's Dept. After lunch there was the usual raffle. All participants in the cleanup received a Moose Anderson Tee-Shirt. It was time for us to head home. About 5 miles down the highway Was the Kern County Sheriff with the Bar-B-Q trailer pulled over with a overheated engine, so we stopped to see if he could use any help. So it was back to Jawbone Station with the sheriff's trailer, After parking it at Jawbone Station we headed home again. The Weather was perfect making it another great Moose Anderson Clean-up day.  

Jawbone Attendees from ABA:
Wayne, Jodi & Kyle Berg
