Buckeye Trail Reclamation Project
| Date: | Winter 2004 |
| Trail: | Buckeye Trail |
| Volunteers: | 8 (so far) |

The VWA Trail Crew has undertaken the daunting task of regrading the tread on the beautiful and historic Buckeye Trail between Buckeye Flat and the Cruikshank homestead in the heart of the Silver Peak Wilderness. Due to the project's relative proximity to the trailhead on Highway 1 (about a 4 mile hike) we're planning to accomplish the project by way of a series of day-trips and overnighters at Buckeye Camp, keeping at it until the work is done or the soil dries out, whichever comes first.
If you have a soft spot for sweeping ocean views, the fragrant aroma of warm sagebrush and bay, cordial comaraderie and the deep, deep sleep that comes only after a long day of hiking and swinging a heavy tread tool, by all means come join us. We'd be honored to work with you.
