1. CA, RUBICON: Friends of the Rubicon are organizing work parties and weekends now. The season to continue saving this trail for all of us is here.
FOTR has been bringing on the blood, sweat and gears for 12 years now, fixing the trail, keeping erosion in check, making sure we can use the trail responsibly, and being a part of the governing bodies. Rubicon Trail Foundation is headed up the "officialdom" of FOTR efforts and making sure we have funding to get things done.
