We are postponing our workday one week to Saturday, 2/24/18, same time, same place.

There is a high prediction of rain for Thursday and Friday, and some prediction for Saturday.  We could probably do the erosion control work OK, but part of the plan was to start water sealing the exposed wood on the several culverts in the area and also on the “42 Steps.”  Water sealing wet wood with a chilly treatment isn’t recommended.  We hope this does not cause an inconvenience,  and that you can make the 2/24 date.

It’s almost the third Saturday of the month again… and that means NMRTA workday!

WHAT WE WILL BE DOING:  We will be continuing work on the Salado Canyon Trail – clearing, repairing and treating wooden culverts; building water bars and doing general trail improvements.  Light to heavy work… something for all.  Bring water, gloves, sun protection, sturdy shoes and a jacket (and maybe rain protection – just in case).  We had a great workday last month and got a lot of quality work done, but it is a long trail!

WHEN:  Saturday February 17, 2018, 9 am… work until noon

WHERE:  Salado Canyon Trail Head (T-128)   To get there… from the Cherry Festival location in High Rolls, travel North on Fresnel Canyon Rd 2.1 miles to “Where the power lines cross the road.”

NOTES:

• Light to heavy work… something for all skill levels and experience (and lack of experience).
• Tools furnished.  Be sure and bring your own drinking water, sun protection, work gloves and study shoes.
• And, bring light rain gear… some possibility of a shower.
