Non-Sierra Club outing
Madulce Trail Clearing:
The trail leading up to Madulce from Cox Flats has become extremely

clearing. This is a three-day project but for those who can stay
longer, we will also be staying through Thursday the 21st. Goat packer
Mike Smith will be leading the first three days of the project and
long-time project leader Ray Ford will be there for the last three
days.
No training is needed though you should be in good physical condition and
experienced in overnight and backpack type camping.
