January 13, 2018 Trail Work Day Plan

We will be working on the Mountain Trail again between the Picket Line Trail and the Fire Road. Parking and registration at the Old 41 Lot, muster at the amphitheater, stage tools at the grassy sloped area next to the trail head, return tools straight to the maintenance area.

We will start with the assumption of 12-13 work sites depending on the number of volunteers.

The work will consist mostly of more trashing the trail creep erosion, out sloping the trail in places, removing trip hazards, and finishing up some of the work from last month.

We want to close the Lower Mountain trail again rerouting people to the Picket Line trail to the top. That was a big help especially from a safety perspective.

We think that we will be back again in February unless we are directed elsewhere.
