Got some time on your hands? The Continental Divide Trail Alliance can use your help. The Alliance is putting out a call for hundreds of volunteers who might be available for a few days, a week (or maybe more) in helping out with Continental Divide--"The King of Trails"--trail projects across the west.
"We’re looking for people who enjoy activities like digging new trail and moving rocks of various shapes and sizes," said CDTA’s Director of Vounteer Programs, Susan Westhoff. "It’s a great 
chance to meet new friends, enjoy spectacular scenery, have a one-of-a-kind outdoor adventure and participate in one of the largest conservation projects in the nation’s history."

Crew chefs are needed to feed all those hungry hoards who’ll need plenty of carbohydrates and proteins after moving all those rocks of various shapes and sizes. This year, nearly 60 projects are planned in five states, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico, at elevations ranging from 4,000 feet to 13,000 feet. Many projects don’t require experience, and a lot of the assignments offer campsites for your RV.
