Trail Building Workdays:
Trail building at Faye/Luther is ready to commence. Most of the construction will be brush clearing and creating tread, but there are some serious rock challenges that will require technical knowledge and grip hoists. Those days will be specifically scheduled. The next month's work days follow:
Tuesday April 15
Saturday April 19
Monday April 21
Friday April 25
Sunday April 27
Wednesday April 30
Tuesday May 6
Monday May 12
We will meet at Faye/Luther TH at 9 AM each day and plan to return to the TH by 3 PM. Please call Phil Brisack at 265-7264 to confirm if you can help and which days you will be available.

Faye-Luther Trail Clean-Up Team
CVTA would like to thank the volunteer members of the Faye-Luther Trail Clean-Up Team. This much-needed group was formed recently and is valiantly performing the necessary, but somewhat unpleasant, task of keeping the trail clean and picked up. Many hikers take their dogs walking with them, which is a lot of fun for both the owners and their dogs. However, years ago, when we acquired permission from BLM and the Forest Service to establish our trails and allow our canine friends to accompany us on our hikes, we agreed to keep our trails clean.
Unfortunately, many of our trail users did not assume the responsibility of cleaning up after their dogs, so we installed dog bag posts at our trails for their convenience. Still, there was very little cooperation. A Trail Clean-Up Team was formed in March to help keep Faye-Luther clean and to remind dog owners to pick up after their dogs. The volunteers who comprise this team would really prefer not to have to do this chore, but they all love our trails and want to help keep them beautiful. However, until more cooperation from dog owners is evident, they will continue their daily task. Please help them by taking care of your dog's deposits and reminding others with dogs to do so as well.
The following CVTA members have agreed to do this chore every week:
Monday: Carron Baxter
Tuesday: Amy Delius
Wednesday: Marlene Koehler
Thursday: Bob and Linda Wellise
Friday: Al Evans
Saturday: Joyce Richardson (chairman)
Sunday: Derek and Sue McReavy
Alternates: Cindy Stapleton
Barbara Slade
If you see one of these devoted people on the trail, please take a minute to thank them for their service.
NOTE: The committee needs more alternates and a volunteer for Saturdays. If you are willing to assist with this task, please call Joyce Richardson at 775-783-8462. We would also like to form a committee to help with the Job's Peak Ranch trail. If you walk this trail regularly, or are willing to walk it one assigned day of the week, please call Joyce, and she will begin a list of possible committee members for this trail as well.
