What a productive event! 52 dedicated OB members, plus MDLT volunteers, got together to preserve history, help the park grow, and preserve Joshua Tree seeds for post-fire restoration.
In order of importance;
For the Mojave, we plan on going back at the end of March or early April. I am working with NPS to get some projects that deal with trail repair or restoration. Plus, we will have a couple of MDLT projects in the Lanfair Valley.
MDLT has a 160 acre ranch property in the Lanfair Valley that we will be able to use as base camp. There is a covered structure that we can use for a potluck on Saturday night. The agreement I have reached with them is that Overland Bound members can use this property at other times on a reservation basis. More to come on this.
Death Valley - still in contact with the Park but to this date no projects have been secured. One that we are talking about is a repair to the very bottom of Lippincott Road. More to come regarding this..
