SAW CERTIFICATION SET FOR JUNE 22
Good news for any NSA volunteer that would like to get crosscut saw certified and volunteer for an NSA trail maintenance project at the same time. The Leadville District of the Pike-San Isabel NF has agreed to conduct a saw certification session at the NSA /CTF bridge building work site at Frenchman Creek on the Colorado trail on June 22. Normally saw certification is a two-day event and would have required another drive to the Leadville area. The certification will be for crosscut saws only since the project site is within the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness Area.
At this time the plan is to meet at a location on US Highway 24 between Leadville and Buena Vista early on the morning of June 22 and then proceed to the project site. The project is scheduled for two days with departure on the afternoon of June 23. Details of the exact location of the meeting place, time and other details including meals, camping, tools and the need for four wheel drive vehicles will be the subject of another posting on this blog.
If you are interested in joining the fun at about 11,000’ please send your sign up sheet to Jon McBride and email Richard Hilderbrand, squad leader at rhilderbrand@usantidoping.org and let him know you are coming.
Check this blog at the end of the month for more information.
