[NMCCSC] Corral Canyon Trail Maintenance in Jemez, Fri., Nov. 5

[Sam Beard]

Hello Skiers,

On Friday, Nov. 5, N. M. Cross Country Ski Club volunteers will remove fallen trees and cut brush on Corral Canyon Trail in the Jemez Mountains. This area is located in the Jemez Ranger District on the south side of NM-4 about one-half mile west of Valle Grande. We are working on Friday, because the deer hunts extend from Sat. to Wed. this week. Recently certified FOSM chain sawyers (A and B) are welcome to attend and get some chain saw practice.

We will hike approximately 4 miles round trip with an elevation change of 800 feet. We will also be nailing blue diamonds to trees so that the trail is easier to follow.

Wear long pants, a long-sleeve shirt, and boots with slip-resistant soles. Bring eye and ear protection (using chain saws), work gloves, and hard hat. Let me know if you need a hard hat. Also, bring lunch, snacks, drinks, and a jacket for cool weather.

Tools will be provided such as compound action loppers.

Meet at 8 am on the west side of the Target parking lot at I-25-N and Paseo del Norte. There is a very large white construction tent in the parking lot where we usually meet. We will meet across the street from the north end of the tent. I will be driving a blue and white FJ Cruiser.

We will arrive at Corral Canyon Trailhead at 9:30 to 10:00 am. At the latest, we will return to the parking lot by 4 pm and arrive in ABQ by about 6 pm.

If you email me and let me know if you plan to attend, we will look for you at the Target site.

Please email me if you have questions or plan to attend. samgbeard at msn.com<mailto:samgbeard at msn.com>
