As a volunteer board member with the Continental Divide Trail Coalition, I can certainly understand the challenges faced by a volunteer group. I have done my own share of Pulaski swinging as well, so I can certainly appreciate the hard work! Thank you.

Possible to post more information in case other readers are interested as well? (Web site? Contact info? ) as for me, let me talk to the boss first. 😉

EDIT: found the website with pertinent information http://www.fomelc.org/

Thank-you for your posts about hiking both the Mt. Evans and the lost Creek Wilderness area. You may not be aware that both of the areas depend on volunteers for trail maintenance. It is a never ending endeavor with over 130 miles of trails in each area.
On July 11th, the Friends of Mt. Evans and Lost Creek Wilderness and the USFS will be sponsoring a project to cut out downed tree on the Beaver Meadows, Bear Track lake and Cub Creek loop (9+ miles)
All cut outs will be done with 2 man Crosscut saws and hand tools.
I am posting this after reading your blog from last year and your attempted hike into Bear track lakes.
If you don’t have a better offer, consider joining us for the day to open up the trails.
