Trip Report

For this month's outing we continued to work on the Amazon Headwaters Trail. Our group of unflappable volunteers showed up ready to work in spite of the threats of rain and wind gusts. We were rewarded with relatively mild weather for the duration of our outing. Roberta, Autumn, and Clara painted the kiosk to apply an even coat over its entirety because someone had done a hasty job of painting over some graffiti. The rest of our group hiked down the trail to start the necessary but daunting task of cleaning the wooden bridges and causeways. After some brief instructions we broke into 3 groups of 3 and began the laborious task of using snake tongued weeders to clean the gaps between the board, using shovels and putty knives to scrape off moss, and brooms to seep of gravel, leaves and mud. We were able to completely clean all but the longest causeway. Cleaning it remains to be tackled another day.
