On July 28 the Moab Friends for Wheelin’ (MF4W) four wheel drive club transported National Park Service personnel on the Golden Spike Trail to retrieve their SOA repeater. The club helped the National Park Service install the temporary SOA repeater in March of 2008. The SOA repeater was being used to provide radio coverage between park areas and the visitor center until the Bald Mesa repeater could be repaired. The Bald Mesa repeater could not be repaired earlier this year due to heavy snow. On July 19 the club performed a work day on the La Sal Pass road. Downed trees, boulders and litter were removed from the roadway. A report with photos was supplied to the Forest Service showing condition of the road. Photo by David Garbs
