Very nice turn out this weekend in spite of the warm temperatures. The staging area was made ready for us to use and although not complete, it worked our very well for us. In total there were 22 TRS members over both days. More work was done trimming brush, “kicking” rocks and installing the trail barriers (aka mini cattle guards). John Titre of the US Forest Service camped out with us Saturday evening. We made it a point to publicly express our thanks for all John he has done to bring this project to the Tumaccaoiri Mountains! The diner meal on Saturday was excellent too, Thanks Todd!!

Message below from John Titre.I notified him we have now contributed over 1,000 volunteer hours to the project. George, Incredible accomplishment! —And it is just not the hours but the level of expertise throughout the project. It could not have been done without that level of involvement from TRS. Not once did we use the Supervisor’s Office for GIS work expect for printing three maps when our printer was disabled. The biologist and archeologist were able to use shape files generated for their analysis.

Here are a few pictures taken while out creating moto trail these past few weeks.

On Monday April 15th. 4 TRS members spent the day on the RST clearing rocks and cutting branches on trail #6840. We also sent time monitoring the safety of Rob our excavator operator. He began cutting trail on a long side hill section. This trail will be about 1 mile in length. The views from this trail are most likely the best of the entire trail system. The panoramic view is incredible.

9 TRS members were out on the RST clearing brush and rock on some trail. Helmets off to Randy B, Jerry K, Carlos S, Tim Mc, Ryan Harrington, Gary M, Noah S, Jim R, & George W Much more to do, hope to see you next time.
