Trip Report

Our group of early risers met at the Fox Hollow Trailhead parking lot for the first Saturday morning outing of the fall. For this month's project, we borrowed a broader assortment of tools from the City to finish our work cutting back brush from the sides of the upper half of the trail. Using loppers, hand-clippers, and weed cutters we cut back blackberries, vine maple, and poison oak. We also used terra hoes to clear a section of ditch for this coming winter's wet weather. A need to take Oliver off trail for a "break" led to the discovery of an abandoned campsite complete with collapsed tarps and still set-up cot. Clara once again did a great job cleaning the kiosk and trailhead area.
