| 説明 | Ice Box Canyon Trail had deteriorated so badly that the designated route was a trench 18 to 30 inches deep!Last month, staff and volunteers were assisted by strings of MULES that did the heavy carrying.On the first day, volunteers prepped the site by transferring boulders and rocks as a base for the badly eroded trail on the first day.The second day, they filled the trail with sand and gravel material extracted from a nearby wash. But nearby doesn’t mean right by and that’s where the mules lent their strength. Volunteers filled mules’ panniers with about 100 pounds of material each. Once loaded, horseman led the string of mules up the trail to the restoration location where an additional crew of volunteers promptly released the panniers allowing the fill material to drop into place exactly where needed.With three mule teams, the Ice Box Canyon Trail project moved quickly with pack strings coming and going as fast as the teams could load and unload.The project was a great success due to BLM permittee Jim Sage of Cowboy Trails who provided the mules, members of the local Back Country Horseman of America and National FFA Organization, as well as Friends of Red Rock Canyon volunteers and BLM staff. |
