SUMMARY:Chicken Strip Work Day
LOCATION:Chicken Strip Airstrip - Saline Valley California
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\n2/19/2013\nDue to weather in the area we are cancelling this weekends wor
 k party/fly in for Chicken Strip airstrip in the Saline Valley California. 
  It is rescheduled for next weekend, March 2nd and 3rd.  The
  details are below.\nThis is a fly-in work party for normal maintenance of 
 the Chicken Strip airstrip in the Saline Valley California. The current con
 dition of the airstrip is good, assuming no wash-outs .  The strip has
  some Whoop-Tee-Doos from previous rains. A Whoop-Tee-Doo is the result of 
 rain washing across the runway taking a small bit of dirt with it. Then, wh
 en you smooth out the strip you have a wide low spot as compared to the hig
 h spots that lost no dirt from the rain. What we need to do is scrape off t
 he high spots into the low spots and level out the strip, so bring your Rak
 es and Shovels. The Park service will have a Ranger in attendance and has v
 olunteered the Ranger to pull the drag with their vehicle. So all we need t
 o do is loosen up the high spots with rakes and shovels so the drag can smo
 oth it out. In addition I have acquired a wind sock to replace the old one,
  hope it is the right size. Also if anyone has some old WHITE paint to pain
 t the rocks lining the strip, that would be a needed effort also.\nThe weat
 her at that time of year is usually very nice with temps in the high 60s. N
 ights will be desert cold in the 30 so if you decide to spend the night bri
 ng a good sleeping bag. Rain and high winds are always possible at that tim
 e of year.\nIf you plan on staying the night please bring something to tie 
 down your airplane as there are only two tie-down available. So if you’re t
 he third plane in, or later, you will need your own tie-downs. Camping is a
 llowed at the strip BUT there are NO Toilet Facilities or Trash Cans, there
  are NO camping improvements either. The toilets are over at the hot spring
 s area about a half mile away. If you want a camp fire bring your own wood.
  This is a desert so no fire wood. Remember we will be a group and we need 
 to show the established hot springs community and the Park Service that we 
 are a responsible group. So please help to keep our area clean.\nShould you
  have any questions feel free to e-mail me or call at any time. This should
  be a fun day of work and great evening.  Because the Park Service wou
 ld like a head count please RSVP to me and let me know that you will be joi
 ning us.\nChicken Strip Info\nLocation:
