Taos Crew Update

Last Monday we headed to La Sombra Trail to do corridor work. We also painted tables and cleaned up the dirty fire pits.
On Tuesday we painted more picnic tables and raked the area clean. Mike showed us how to used the weed whacker, but not all of us could use it because we are not yet eighteen.
We were lucky enough to go to the Ski Valley on Wednesday. We met a Sierra Club representative and widened some of the trails up there.
Thursday we went back up La Sombra- we hiked 3.3 miles and worked with Craig Saum, one of the rangers for the Camino Real district. It was almost unbearably hot, but we managed to work right through the heat and get the job done. Throughout the day Craig showed us how to make awesome water bars.

**YCC Crews have graduated and moved on- RMYC is grateful for each crewmember's dedication to community service!**
