BMWF #13 – Shaw Area Campsite Rehab

Type of Project:	backpacking, campsite rehab, GPS weeds inventory
Rating:	Strenuous
Trip Dates:	09/02/2010 to 09/09/2010
Location:	Gordon Creek Drainage, Swan Range, Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex
Work:	Volunteers on this late season project will do campsite rehab work including revegetation and GPS inventory weeds to two alpine lakes. The hike into the Shaw cabin area over Gordon Pass affords spectacular view of the peaks of the Swan Range as well as the Mission Mountains to the West. We’ll tent under the stars, while enjoying the luxury of a Forest Service cabin for cooking, relaxing and drying out should the weather turn. So get your hiking boots greased and join us for one more project in The Bob before the summer is over! Once you submit your registration to BMWF, you will receive more detailed project information including a suggested packing list and driving directions. This is a backcountry camping trip with primitive campsites based around a FS cabin. BMWF will coordinate pack support to transport food into the backcountry, but volunteers should be prepared to hike in all personal gear. You will be asked to provide your own gear and assist in camp chores. Sturdy boots, long pants and work gloves are required. All tools, safety gear, river gear and food will be provided.
