Among the the projects are: construction of a road up Pole canyon: the improving and widening of the lower end of the Mount Nebo Scenic Loop road, the building of fences, and the improving and beautifying of the recerational areas. There is need for a lot of erosion control work to be done in the areas adjacent to Nephi, and a large portion of that could be done during the winter months. Plans for summer work in the Nebo area were also discussed with Supervisor DeMoisy and Ranger A. P. Christiansen, but as yet nothing definite has been decided upon, will however, the forest service maintain their roads and trails up to the present standard, with a possibility of building some fences and improving the recreatonal area.

P. Christiansen, local forest ranger. Ths new scenic route was completed last fall, and the 20 miles of new ..construction, which hikes off from the main road leading behind Mount Nebo, at a point about 12 miles from Nephi, and leads in a direction, then northerly and again north westerly until it reaches the tops of the mountains behind Mount Nebo, where an excellent view of the Sanpete Mountains and Sanpete valley is obtained. The wonderful drive takes the vacationist through thousand of acres of wonderful groves, and acres of towering pines. The drive continues on upward until 10,000 feet elevation is reached, and then the road continues over toward Payson canyon, where it connects with the Payson canyon road. At this time of the year, there are several hundred head of Elk ranging on the areas adjacent to the scenic loop, and if the trip is taken early in the morning or late in the evening, some of these animals can be seen. The road is in perfect condition although it is rather narrow, and much caution should be taken in driving, as there are a number of cars going over the route each day, especially on Sundays. north-easter- Six 15, 16 The News.
