[Volunteers_fosm] Trail Work Report For Monday, July 26, 2021

[Patty Danforth]

Thank you for cleaning up Cienega trail; it was becoming quite an ankle
grabber! I came upon a fallen tree yesterday on un poquito a couple of
yards above Armijo. It was easy to step over and may have already been
reported.
