Report and photos by Clay Graham / Eastern Washington Adventures

On Saturday March 23th, 2013 volunteers met up at the Slab ORV Area near Buena Washington around 10 AM for the Slab Clean-up hosted by the Dust Dodgers & Yakima/Kittitas Forest Watch Association (the non-profit division of Eastern Washington Adventures).

This year the Slab ORV Area was in better shape than normal. There was a lot of volunteers so the clean up did not take to long. There were members from the Dust Dodgers, Eastern Washington Adventures, Desert Rats, Thunder Trucks and Selah Cub Scout Pack 276. There maybe a few more that did not get signed in.

We would like to thank all the people that came out to help. Thank you to the Dust Dodgers for the hot dogs, snacks and for taking care of the dump fee.

Here are a few pictures I took of the day:

Eastern Washington Adventures Club House Work Party – Mar 16 2013

Posted on April 17, 2013 by Ceg

Eastern Washington Adventures Club House Work Party
Report by Clay Graham / Eastern Washington Adventures

Every year we try to improve the EWA Club House Grounds for the events our club holds. It has been a long process due to time and money. We have an annual work weekend in March of each year to get ready the season. We had a tractor we were doing work with until the transmission went out. The last two years we rented a skid-steer from Wenas Feed to move dirt to the Biergarten, the pool area and driveways.

On Friday March 15th, 2013 Eastern Washington Adventures Club members started the annual EWA Club House work party and worked through Sunday. Saturday Night we had a St. Patrick’s Day potluck dinner.

Members took turns working the skid-steer and packing the dirt with Jeeps. Other members worked on the Club House building adding drywall.

We got a lot done thanks to all who came and helped.

Below are pictures of some of the EWA Club House work:

There is more work to do when we get more time and money. Until then we will have fun with what we have.
