[Volunteers_fosm] FOSM Trail Session Report for May 16, 2019

[Bob Galloway via Volunteers_fosm]

On Thursday May 16, the Friends of the Sandia Mountains (FOSM) led another
trail session in support of the Sandia Ranger District (SRD) Cienega/Armijo
Trails Improvement Project (CATIP). The session focused on rerouting user
trail TC24 up and over the ridge from Armijo Canyon*. *

The reroute bypasses a lung-busting user trail with four loops which make
for an easily navigated sustainable trail. The 11 volunteers were Eric
Russell, Jenny Blackmore, Mark Grazier, Dave Harding, Lorna Morrow, Phil
Cromer, Mike Madden, Jim Houle, Bruce Hansche, and Betsy and Bob Galloway.
Directing the crew was Canyon Young, SRD seasonal trail crew lead and his
three very hardy crew members. The group of 15 trail workers made great
progress on TC24, as shown in the attachment, completing more than
expected. One or two more sessions should complete this section.

The weather was the warmest of the year so far but the overcast and breeze
made working conditions pleasant. Funny thing, the trail tools always seem
much heavier on the hike out...
