This is a Saturday project, so those of you who work during the week have
an opportunity to volunteer! Morning temps should be nice and cool up at
10,000 ft. The Sandia Nordic Ski Trails Project is a combined effort with
the two organizations. *Note the change from previous sessions... meet at
Ellis TH @ 8:30 am.* See details below, and respond directly to Jeff.

Hello all,

Amazing how much progress  has been made clearing corridor for the reroutes
in a just a few weeks.  A bit more corridor clearing work to do and then we
will shift gears and start the earth leveling process which will involve a
mixture of heavy equipment such as a skid steer and possibly mini excavator
and  hand tool work. In some areas, hauling in rock/gravel fill for the low
sections will be necessary and again this would involve heavy equip or at
least power assisted wheel barrows.  This Saturday we will be cutting some
brush, clearing out some stumps and small aspens, so hand saws, loppers and
 picks will be needed if you have them.  We will bring up a few picks and
Mcleods up from either FOSM or the Sandia Ranger shed for you as well.  If
additional tools are needed I will let you know later in the week. Again
and if anyone needs a hardhat, Sandia Nordic has some more to give away.
They’re yours to keep (along with your sweat).

The SRD PPE requirements are always in effect for trail work days. PPE
guidelines set by the Forest Service  *require everyone to wear hardhats,
glasses or other protective eyewear, long-sleeved shirts (for cutting and
clearing work), long pants, closed toe shoes or boots (not running shoes)
and work gloves.*

This Saturday, Steve Roholt and I will lead the work group(s) and  we will
meet at the Ellis Trailhead parking lot at 0830 and working till around
noon.  Bring plenty of fluids and snacks.  We won’t take a formal break so
be sure to rest, hydrate and work at your own pace.

Please RSVP to me at jhuser54 at comcast.net or text to 505-228-9150 so we
know to bring up enough tools.

Regards

Jeff
