[NMCycling] Taos Double Boundary Canceled

[Nathan Berg]

Hi All,
Sorry I've been slow to send this out, but the NMES Taos Double Boundary
event is cancelled this year.  The section of South Boundary Trail from
Osha Pass to Garcia Park remains closed, and when it opens it will require
a significant effort to clear the blow down from the wind event last
December.  Additionally, reports are that Elliot Barker trail was
significantly damaged during the efforts to contain the Hermits Peak/Calf
Canyon fire and is going to require extensive rebuilding.

That said, I'm thinking that would be a good date if there's interest in
the Cruces Basin routes out of the Hopewell Lake area.  I haven't had a
chance to investigate trail conditions on the CDT north of the lake, but
the section south to the green gate has been cleared of down trees.
Ironically we've gone from forest closures due to drought conditions to a
wonderfully active monsoon season that has left things a bit too muddy to
responsibly access right now (about 5" of rain in the Taos area for the
month of July).  If anyone has any beta on the CDT between Hopewell and
Brazos Ridge I'd be very interested.

Cheers,
Nate
