[Volunteers_fosm] Report of National Trails Day FOSM Project, June 1, 2019

[DAN BENTON via Volunteers_fosm]

Hello Everyone,
 
On Saturday, June 1, 2019, eight FOSM volunteers completed a project at the Pino Trailhead as part of the National Trails Day (NTD) event at Albuquerque's Elena Gallegos Picnic Area in Simms Park. At the request of Kerry Wood, SRD Trails and Wilderness Manager, they built a half-chicane to discourage the passage of bicycles into the Sandia Mountain Wilderness at the Park boundary. The tasks included digging two post holes with the FOSM Stihl power post hole auger, installing 2 posts, and screwing four pieces of 2x4s to the posts.
 
Lunch was provided at the Park's Kiwanis Shelter, and door prizes were passed out to the lucky ticket holders. The prizes were donated by REI and other local businesses. All the volunteers won a prize.
 
The FOSM volunteers were Dan Benton, Cliff Giles, Jerry Pekarek, Tim Brown, Jim Levesque, Rick Buss, Pauline Ho, and Sam Beard.
 
Project photos are presented in the attached Word document.
 
Bob and Betsy Galloway worked on another project on the west side of the mountain. Kerry Wood led a NTD project to reroute part of the Challenge Trail near Nine Mile Picnic Area so that it would be more sustainable.
