[Volunteers_fosm] FOSM Trail Report for April 16, 2019

[Bob Galloway via Volunteers_fosm]

Ok, not the usual Thursday Friends of the Sandia Mountains (FOSM) trail
session. A small group of volunteers helped Russell Berman, Cibola National
Forest and Grasslands Trails Resource Assistant, and John, a member of the
Sandia Ranger District seasonal trail crew, to complete a trails project in
a location with very limited work space. The crew built two crib walls for
a future trail section to get over a rock outcrop.

Berman's Boulder Bunch consisted of Phil Cromer, Mark Grazier, and Betsy
and Bob Galloway. After a day of very heavy work, the crib wall was
completed though much more backfill will be added later. The last step was
throwing brush over the section to discourage use until the connecting
trail and more backfill are complete. Part of the effort was carrying in
all the gear to position the boulders. No need for a trip to the gym for
this group!

A beautiful day spent in a Sandia Mountain ponderosa forest. We had a good
crew, working together well, and adept at fitting together the boulder
puzzle. And the section is all ready for a trail crew to work their way in
to complete the trail tread.
