<b><i>Mending fences…<br></b></i> Jim Molter (left), Gary Lee Fischer, Jeff Stevens, DeVon Parson, and Doug McElhaney work to repair a wood fence on the Hell’s Revenge Trail that vandals burned earlier this winter. After weeks of rescheduling due to snow, the Moab Friends-For-Wheelin’ club and the Red Rocks 4-Wheel Drive club were able to access the trail Feb. 28 to complete the work. The route is still closed because of snow, but the groups received permission from the Bureau of Land Management and Sand Flats Recreation Area personnel to make the repairs near the Escalator, an popular four-wheel-drive obstacle located on the trail. Sand Flats personnel furnished the logs and the lag bolts and the Moab Friends-For-Wheeling supplied the generator and other power tools. Photo by Marlene Parson
