Twenty-five volunteers gathered over the Memorial Day weekend to help. Most of the volunteers drove to the event in order to bring the needed equipment and supplies.
EAA members from Chapters 342 and 420 “turned out in full force with big equipment, mowers, and loaders,” Lori said. “The real work was our manual labor walking the 2,600-ft runway and pulling out yucca, cactus, and hazardous clumps of vegetation. We also flattened ant hills,” she added, all in compliance with work guidelines the BLM had established. The group installed an RAF windsock, requiring a welder. Luckily, a volunteer welding teacher showed up at the event!
