James Peak Wilderness. For the last couple days a group of 6 corps members including myself have been doing trail maintenance. Frank our contact with the Forest Service Recreation has been instructing us and leading our work. Mostly we've been clearing trees that have fallen on trails, building drainage and improving or creating trail.

The Blue Mountain Fire made the local news paper and CNN local. Completely unrelated: A group of us ran into the filming of The Real World (MTV) in downtown Denver on my birthday. It was hilarious how staged it is. MTV must have a deal with the local authorities since they had 4 officers there. Must be more important then enforcing the law.
