2008 Trail Work Season
The 2008 Trail Work Season has begun with a whimper. Our first work party was cancelled due to the amount of snow on the trails. We were able to work on May 17th at Carbon River. Now the June 14th work party has been cancelled due to snow. July has the deveg on the 19th. The next work party after that is our campout in August.
