Volunteers tackle wilderness access roads

Martha Rasmussen's right leg is held together by a plate along her shinbone.

She only can hike about five miles before the pain sets in. Then she limps back.

It's a bummer for Rasmussen, 55, and her husband Nels, 56, because the couple loves to get out in the woods.

"I fell in a creek 20 years ago and broke my leg in several places," Martha Rasmussen said. "It was six months before I could walk again. That's why I care that we are able to drive up the Forest Service roads to get to our favorite hiking trails."
