Thank you Sam and FOSM volunteers for your time and excellent facelift of the sign west of Tajique.  This one was on our list for replacement, but those signs are very expensive and this new paint job will definitely help extend the life until we can get it replaced.  I really appreciate you extending your "friendship" down into the Manzano Mountains!
