Planting All Those Trees...
We had a great day planting Trees. Gary Lacey the designer of the white water course and his crew showed up with 70+ nursery trees to plant on our course. Thanks to many volunteers from the Pueblo Paddlers, Colorado Springs, and all the people who ran the equipment, without them we would have been still planting all those trees next week. Bob is still working with the little tractor somewhere down by Runyon Lake..
