Here we go again. Please NOTE new start time of 0800!

PROJECT DETAILS:
The Friends of the Sandia Mountains (FOSM) will continue work on the Cienega-Armijo Trail Improvement Project (CATIP) for the Sandia Ranger District. We will hike up Armijo Trail #222 to extend the reroute of a user trail (TC24). Tasks will include completing some trail reroutes and obliterating the bypassed sections.

We will be accessing the work site from a location with very limited parking. The hike in is around 1.5 miles. Because we need to carpool to the extent possible, I do not recommend hiking out before we end the work session.    

PLEASE RSVP:
So we can plan for tools, hard hats, and transportation, please let me know by email or text 1) IF you plan to participate, 2) IF you will need a hard hat, and 3) IF you have any questions (and please do not "reply all").   

START TIME:  
Meet at the FOSM shed behind the Sandia Ranger District (SRD) on Thursday 5/30/19 ready to go at 0800. Bring your lunch, snacks, liquids, and sunscreen. Dress in layers to accommodate varying temperatures. We will work until around 1330. 

REQUIRED ATTIRE: 
The standard USFS trail work PPE requirements apply: approved hard hat, eye protection, no open-toed shoes, work gloves, and pants (no shorts), no exceptions. A hard hat can be provided if needed. NOTE: short-sleeved shirts are fine but brushing, including trail obliteration, requires long sleeves.

Weather and trail conditions can change quickly. Please watch for last minute project updates or cancellation. 

Thanks. And I can amend this distribution list as desired.
