Join us up on Rampart for a smaller, less formal cleanup to hit a few hot spots and do some scouting for other areas after all the campers over Memorial Day.. We plan to break into groups and work on a variety of areas on the mountain.
We welcome additional volunteers, but ask that if anyone is joining you to have them shoot us an email so that we can make sure to have enough supplies, food and t-shirts for everyone. If they decide to come last minute that is ok as well as we do plan for a few extras. To save time in the morning, we request that you review the waiver form on our website in advance, but we will have copies at sign in as well.
CARAVAN DEPARTURES: 9:00am from Monument, 9:30 from Woodland Park
SIGN IN & SAFETY BRIEFING: at Base Camp at 9:45am
LUNCH: PROVIDED @ 12:30pm will be a Sandwich Bar
BRING: Refillable water bottle, gloves, wear sunscreen, a coat, long pants & STURDY shoes/boots
We are also working on reducing the use of cups & water bottles so we ask that you bring a refillable water bottle. We will have water to refill them and make drinks at lunch. If you do not have one, we will have bottles of water that can be labeled and reused for the day.
PROVIDED: FoF Tshirt (if you don’t already have one), water, gloves (if needed), grabbers, trash bags
CARAVAN MEETING TIME & LOCATION: ARRIVE EARLY, but if you would like to go directly to Base Camp on your own, feel free to do so. Directions are given below. The roads do NOT require 4WD, but are dirt and are a bit washboardy, so give yourself plenty of time to go an appropriate speed. We suggest caravanning and following others up that are familiar with the area, or carpooling with friends..
9:00 DEPARTS MONUMENT: Dirty Woman Park (17575 Mitchell Ave) in the main parking lot by the playing field. (Mt Herman Rd is a bit more washed out)
9:30 DEPARTS WOODLAND PARK: Merit Academy (previously the WPMS) (600 E Kelley’s Rd) in the bus loop on the east side of the school on Rampart Range Rd.
BASE CAMP – The Info Signs on Rampart Range Rd (CR 300), between Mile Markers 22 & 23.
Directions from Monument: Take Mt Herman Road (CR 320) from Monument up to Rampart. At the stop sign at the top, turn left onto CR 300 (Rampart Range Rd). Continue a little over 2 miles and we will be on the left.
Directions from Woodland Park: Take Rampart Range Road (CR 300) from Woodland Park past Merit Academy. At the first “Y”, VIER LEFT (away from Rampart Reservoir). Follow it up to the top where it turns to dirt and VIER LEFT at the “Y” onto Rampart Range Road (CR 300). It will be just up on your right.
NEW POLICY: Although we love having pups join us, we have found that cleanups are not a safe environment for them to attend and therefore are requesting they stay at home.
