Saturday, June 1, was National Trails Day. WMHCTA members worked on projects in both Union and Wallowa counties. In Union County, Lantz Hughes led a group of eight folks, plus John Wayne the Mule, clearing the Hale Springs Trail. As Lantz said, “What a great trail to access right here in our own Grande Ronde valley! It’s a great place to exercise and enjoy a view all day long.”

The participants shown left to right in the group photo are Jan Keil, Brent Lewis, Bob Coulter, Russ West, Jim Akenson, Kari Zollman, Lantz Hughes, and John Wayne.
