The SRD trails people have met and I received an email from Jen. They  think it will be best to put a pause on any tread work until the snow melts and the trails dry up a bit. The proposed date for return to work would be March 21^st. This will allow the trails team time to get their footing and begin to produce a longer scope of work for the Thursday crew. It is possible there will be a bit more corridor work to do on Lower Pine but the SRD trails team wants to look over the reroutes. They will let us know if there is work to do there or if there is brushing that needs to be done. Potential brush work trails are the northern half of Piedra Lisa (possibly doing a loop with Del Agua trail), and Tramway trail from the trailhead to La Cueva trail junction. Basically we are on hold and not working until 03/21/24 unless I hear otherwise.

Jen also suggested we talk about setting up someone or someones to be project leader on the days we don't have a SRD person with us. I am good with the email and report duties but I feel I haven't been doing trail work long enough to have the knowledge to lead on the trail at this point.

We won't need someone every week and if we had a couple of people willing to take on this chore we could rotate the duty. I think we really just need someone to walk the line a couple of times while we work and help with questions and supply an extra critical eye to the work in progress. If you would be willing to help with this let me know. I know everyone likes to work when we go out but again we can work it so the project leader isn't left out of the work. I assume there would be some consulting with the SRD folks involved. Those of you who have been doing this longer than I have can probably give more input on all this.

Think about all this and if you have any questions or suggestions or ideas let me know.
