This coming Saturday is the 2nd Annual Ridgeline Celebration at the main Spencer Butte parking lot. As with last year we'll be participating. This year we are going to have a booth to talk about trail maintenance and some trail maintenance activities for people to participate in. We'll continue our storm cleanup efforts by working on the West Trail. If we have enough volunteers, we'll also work to better delineate where the trail is.

Trip Report

Clara was the hardest worker of the day, she began cleaning the stairs at 9:00 and was still working on them at 1:30. She dug out all of the dirt, scraped the moss off, and swept the concrete steps until they looked polished. She had some other help (Joanne Ledet and Betty Grant) but Clara didn't give up and cleaned off all of the steps. Then we watched people coming down from their hike and scraping their muddy shoes on the steps.

Jim, Dan, and Joanne worked to clear the drainage features and muck from the West Trail.

Janet and Darko set up a wonderful booth and display of Obsidian photos related to Spencer Butte and the Ridgeline to attract people to learn more about what we do and our trail maintenance efforts. We even got 8 people to sign-up to be added to the trail maintenance mailing list.
