[NMCCSC] East Fork East Loop Trail Work, Friday, Oct. 29

[Sam Beard]

Hello Skiers,

On Friday, Oct. 29, NMCCSC volunteers will remove fallen trees and cut brush on the East Fork East Loop Trail in the Jemez Mountains. This area is located across the highway from the Los Griegos parking area. We cross the highway at the east end of the parking lot and hike a loop to the east on top of the East Fork Ridge. We are working on Friday, because the elk hunts extend from Sat. to Wed. each week.

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 jacket for cool weather.

Tools will be provided such as compound action loppers.

We will hike approximately 2 miles round trip with little elevation change.

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 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 the large Los Griegos parking lot 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 and plan to attend. samgbeard at msn.com<mailto:samgbeard at msn.com>
