Manzano West Side 2023

Fourteen NMVFO volunteers camped at the site of the decommissioned JFK Campground on the west side of the Manzano Mountains for a weekend to improve trails. The first day we went on a long hike up Comanche Trail and cleared downed trees, along with lopping.

We did not manage to get to the crest, and will need to clear a good quantity of trees starting on a later project.

Good food and conversation followed.

The following day we worked on Trigo Trail, and split into 3 teams: lopping, sawing, and grafitti removal. Two teams got as far as the falls.
