OTG certified nine new sawyers! OTG partnered with the US Forest Service to certify sawyers in both organizations and San Juan Hut Systems.
The second wilderness overnighter was a great success! Thanks to 10 OTG crew members and 4 USFS crew who cleared over 100 downed trees, removed encroaching brush and repaired trail surfaces in two days, using hand tools and cross cut saws. Justin Mitchell of Action Adventures donated his time and a pack string of mules to haul the group's camping gear and tools up to the high point. The crews worked on the Cutler Creek and Left Fork Cutler Creek trails, and upper parts of the Baldy and Dexter Creek trails within the federally designated wilderness. What a great collaboration! See our Facebook page for great photos.
Thank you to our front country crew for their work on the Horsethief and Blaine Basin Trails this summer!
Thank you to all who contributed to a very successful workday! Much was accomplished. Special thanks to Mountain Market in Ridgway and all who contributed to our lunch. Thank you to Jen and Rick at City of Ouray, Cimarron Coffee, The Goods, and Camp Bell's Cajun for advertising our event, and thanks to the US Forest Service for help on the trail. Most of all thank you to the workers who came out and gave their time and energy to work on our local trails! What a perfect day!!
