For the past two months our crew has been in the heat of the Tijeras mountains. We spent our time breaking through solid rock to install ATV barricades and giant information kiosks, as well as putting up thousands of feet of fencing. When we finished with digging holes for 10 hrs. a day we began work on cutting corridor for biking and hiking trails. YIPEE chain saw work again!!!
Finally this week we were once again slaying the White Fir dragons, in their unusually dry dwellings up in the La Jara mountains. Due to fire restrictions we ripped our selves out of bed at 4:00 AM so we could start sawing at first sunlight. We had to shut down at 10:00 am. After sawing in the morning we were able to eat lunch, take a nap, do a training and cook dinner. Thanks to Justin we where able to cook meals in his families cabin near by. Cutting would start at 6:00 pm and go until darkness once again fell on the land.
Unfortunately due to wild fires across New Mexico, Carson national park instituted stage III fire restrictions starting 12:00 on Wednesday night. This means all forest roads are closed and no chain saws in the mountains. So our future work schedules are in the wind. We will keep you in the loop as future projects present themselves.
