We will discuss the following aspects during this clinic. Equipment overview, safety and basics, including gloves, shovels, shackles, polaskis, straps, pintels, chains, come-alongs, hi-lifts, winches, snatch blocks, tree straps, sand ladders, bridging ladders, and pull palls. Usage of the all of the above items with some hands on for most will also be included. Don't forgot to bring a dish to pass for the pot-luck picnic lunch! Pay your entry fee at the Ranger Station (I believe 2 dollars or so) then meet no later than 10:00am at the picnic tables by the obstacle course which is located in the Upper Ranch area of the recreation area. Get a map at the Ranger Station if you need one to locate the obstacle course, or ask the Rangers when you pay your fee. Directions: take 101 south to Gilroy, continue south on the main highway until you get to Hollister Road (Hwy 25) which will take you to downtown Hollister. Hwy 25 will join up with G1, turn right on this going towards Hollister. Once in Hollister, continue through town on the main road, G1 will become J1, until you reach Hwy 25 again, turn right onto Union Road, and then left on to Clenega Road, continue on Clenega Road until you come to the park! As your drive through town you should see signs directing you towards the park. Please contact the trip organizer if you are interested in attending this event!
