Sagebrush personal hiking blog
About 18 volunteers and trail staff attended a 3-day WFA class held at Tennis Club of Albuquerque, organized by David at NMVFO, and taught by Rebecca with the Carson National Forest and Stephanie with the Gila National Forest.
Eight hikers, supported by 7 Backcountry Horsemen riders, backpacked into Lilley Park in the Gila to lop brush and work on tread for 4 days, on a joint NMVFO and BCH-Gila project. Our site was without water, so riders had made several trips before we arrived to haul in water, and the riders camped at a different site to do sawing.
We did have snow flurries during the first two days, even during working, but little or no wind. A hot tent was really welcome in the morning before the sun came up.
