[Volunteers_fosm] FOSM Trail Building Report for July 25, 2019

[Bob Galloway via Volunteers_fosm]

The Friends of the Sandia Mountains (FOSM) led a trail crew up to continue
work on the Cienega/Armijo Trails Improvement Project (CATIP). The crew,
led by Russell Berman, Cibola National Forest and National Grasslands
Resource Assistant, Trails, is now close to completing Reroute TC03 at the
top of Madera Locura. We should be able to connect the ends, tie in an
extension of Elk Track, and obliterate the bypassed section of old
fall-line user trail.

The crew of trail builders were Jeff Huser, Byron Garner, Eric Russell,
Jenny Blackmore, Sim Cook, Jim Houle, Phil Cromer, Bruce Hansche, Cleve
Sharp, Pat and Mike Madden, and Betsy and Bob Galloway.

In addition to the trail building crew, members of the FOSM crosscut saw
crew came with us to clear the jumble of ponderosa deadfall in the trail
corridor. The crew members were Cliff Giles, Rav Nicholson, and Steve
Roholt, led by Jim Levesque. This crew was finished by lunch after which
they hiked out and removed a hang-up and another deadfall lower down on
Madera Locura. Steve Roholt stayed behind to get a full dose of dirt work.

The weather was warm and humid for New Mexico but there were areas of shade
and occasional breezes along the ridge.
