Kurt has been involved with Friends as a volunteer and
recently as a member of Friends Board of Directors. I have often heard that
southern Nevada has some of the best hiking in the Silver State and is home to
some of our most committed members, Kurt said. I am looking forward to meeting
these great folks and getting out on the ground with volunteers to keep the Spring
Mountains wild and beautiful this season.
