| | #REDIRECT [[Harrison Hut Trail]] |
| | |
| From the current discussion (Sept.-Oct. '08) on the [http://www.ubc-voc.com/phorum2/read.php?f=1&i=39613&t=39613 VOC message board] it seems that some work on the outhouse and trail would be in order. Things to do and/or consider:
| |
| | |
| ===Outhouse===
| |
| Seems that it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace the outhouse. Ideas on the message board abound. Ben might be writing a grant proposal to MEC to cover costs for flying in a new outhouse.
| |
| | |
| ===Trail===
| |
| The VOC doesn't have a permit to build a trail (yet). First it would be good to establish the best location for a trail. More recon missions seem to be required to check the suitability of the following route options:
| |
| * Presently flagged route from the [http://www.bivouac.com/RoadPg.asp?RoadId=1336 Barr Creek FSR] to the bench below Pine Bump
| |
| * Same general route as above, but make a steep-ish traverse around 1650m to avoid extra uphill. For both routes it should be investigated if there are options to build a bridge (unlikely) or stepping stones (maybe) to assist crossing Barr (aka Madhorse) Creek.
| |
| * Follow the "old 1980's" route from the [http://www.bivouac.com/RoadPg.asp?RoadId=4963 New Hotsprings Creek FSR] and a steep traverse NE of Barr Creek to the hut. For this it would be good to check out the possibilities of building a bridge over Rollercoaster Creek (the one next to the hut, should be easy to build bridge; perhaps this bridge could also be used to access new outhouse in forest on E side of this creek) and check how hard the Overseer Creek is to cross.
