SUMMARY:North St. Peter's Dome (Jemez Ranger District)
DESCRIPTION:May 11 @ 9:00 AM –May 12 @ 1:00 PM \nDifficulty: 2 Pulaskis \nContact Leader: Lawrence (Larry) Benson\, LawRBenson@aol.com \, 505-821-7999\, to sign up. \nDescription: After having to cancel a project on the other end of the St Peters Dome Trail (#118) in March because of flooding along Forest Road 289\, we will be working in from its northern trailhead. For some photos of our last project there in 2013\, go to https://www.flickr.com/photos/78338108@N07/albums/72157633694712112/with/8832524304/ The trail continues to suffer erosion and deadfall as a result of the Las Conchas Fire of 2011. This project will be supervised by Phyllis Martinez of the Jemez Ranger District\, one of the U.S. Forest Service’s acknowledged trail experts. Our work will include restoring the trail’s tread by clearing grass and other vegetation from the trail corridor\, removing rocks and building cairns and check dams where needed\, removing any tree trunks blocking the trail\, and improving drainage by cleaning sediment from old water bars\, making rolling dips where appropriate\, and out-sloping the tread along hillsides. Although there will be little or no shade\, the scenic views will be unobstructed. If lucky we may even see some of the Bighorn Sheep recently reintroduced in nearby Cochiti Canyon. USFS regulations require long pants\, long-sleeved shirts\, boots (no soft shoes or sandals)\, and work gloves. Please also bring a day pack with plenty of water\, some of your favorite snacks\, a rain jacket or poncho if rain is in the forecast\, a hat\, sunscreen\, and sunglasses. For additional guidance\, see http://nmvfo.org/volunteer/volunteer-faq/ \nIf there are more than 20 volunteers\, others may be placed on a waiting list. Camping will be available on Friday and Saturday nights in a grassy meadow known as “Graduation Flats\,” where there is lots of space for tents and a parking lot for vehicles and RVs. The Jemez Ranger District will provide a porta-potty\, water\, and possibly some wood for a campfire. The VFO will provide dinner on Saturday evening and breakfasts\, Saturday and Sunday morning\, and sandwich fixings and fruit for lunch. Volunteers camping overnight should sign up with Larry by 9 PM on May 8\, while those just coming on Saturday should notify him by noon on May 10. \nDirections: Take NM 4 to its junction with Forest Road 289 (between mile markers 43 and 44) and follow the green VFO signs 2.3 miles south to the parking lot (just past its junction with FR 287 and before the junction with FR 36. See https://www.google.com/maps/@35.8235444\,-106.4470005\,863m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en The drive from Albuquerque’s northern boundary on I-25\, US 550\, and NM 4 is 77 miles and takes about 2 hours. (Caution: NM 4 has limited passing zones and strictly enforced speed limits in San Ysidro\, the Jemez Pueblo\, and Jemez Springs.) \nThe drive from Santa Fe’s city limit via NM 4 through White Rock is 53 miles and takes about 1 1/4 hours. It will be appreciated if anyone having a high-clearance vehicle would help in carpooling the 7 miles to the trailhead if necessary. For those not camping on Friday night\, please plan to arrive by 8:45 AM on Saturday. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDetails \nStart: May 11 @ 9:00 AM \nEnd: May 12 @ 1:00 PM \nOrganizer \nName: Lawrence Benson \nPhone: 505-821-7999 Email: LawRBenson@aol.com \nhttps://www.google.com/maps/@35.8235444\,-106.4470005\,863m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en

SUMMARY:South Sandia Backpack Project (Sandia RD)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Five volunteers renewed 3.0 miles of trail\, removing 27 deadfalls. \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nJoin us for a rare opportunity to camp off the Crest Trail near South Sandia Peak as we work to clear the trail corridor from overgrowth and deadfall. Lots of saw work! On Friday morning we will meet at the Sandia Ranger District Visitor Center in Tijeras for a ride to the trailhead at Canyon Estates (since parking is secure and ample at the SRD). SRD will provide tools and hard hats. Hard hats are required while we work. NMVFO will provide freeze-dried meals for 3 breakfasts (Sat\, Sun\, Mon) and 3 dinners (Fri\, Sat\, Sun). We will contact volunteers individually for meal preferences. Volunteers will need to bring their own lunches and snacks\, and their own backpack and camping gear (including tent\, sleeping bag/pad\, water containers\, spoon\, coffee mug\, headlamp\, t.p. and trowel…). If you have a water filter and/or backpacking stove and fuel\, please bring those too. A day pack is highly recommended for work days. Long pants\, long-sleeved shirts\, sturdy boots\, work gloves and eye protection (sunglasses) are required by the USFS. We assume anyone signing up for this project will have some backpacking experience and will be aware of clothing needs\, including raingear\, and come prepared for the wide range of temperatures which could occur! Beginning backpackers are welcome\, but must inform the trip leader in advance. The hike to camp is approximately 8 miles\, with 3000 ft. of elevation gain\, and we will divide up the tools (saws and loppers) to carry. A challenging (and fun!) way to give back to the Crest Trail! We will hike in on Friday and hike out on Monday\, with the bulk of the work taking place on Saturday and Sunday (some on Friday too\, but we will take our time hiking in). Volunteers also have the option of hiking in separately to meet the group for one or more days; please let us know if you intend to do so. For more information or to sign up\, contact the project leader.
