Mariposa Trails, an organization that is working hard to restore the network of trails just west of Yosemite National Park, is holding a trail crew weekend on February 21-23. The group will meet at the Hite Cove Trailhead by the historic Savage's Trading Post about twenty miles east of the town of Mariposa.

The work will be mainly clearing a neglected trail to an old mine, but will also involve some stone work to cross a creek. Great people, a good projecf, and a wonderful reason to get out on the trail and spend some time in a beautiful spot.
