Trip Report

For our April outing we met at the Fox Hollow trailhead to brush the trail sides as well as clean drainage features along the Ridgeline trail loop in Amazon Headwaters Park. We found and cleared 4 culverts along the upper while we cut, scraped, shoveled, and hoed along the trail sides. Along the lower Ridgeline section we only found one double culvert. In it Dan found one of the finds of the day, a single serving bottle of Chardonnay, litters tastes are getting classier. Chyanne found the other find of the day meticulously painted log along the trail near the Dillard kiosk, I think the multi-colored design signifies man's inhumanity to inanimate objects. Chyanne cleaned the Fox Hollow and Dillard kiosks carry the extending scrubber for most of the nearly 2 miles we all hiked during this outing.

I haven't heard from anyone else but I at least got a little bit of poison oak on this outing.
