Trip Report

For this month's outing we continued our work to improve the Ridgeline Trail up from the Willamette & 52nd trailhead. We again met up with Christer from EPOS and worked to add rock retaining walls, gravel, and clear drain features such as ditches culverts and open drains.

Clara and Roberta worked to clear the trailsides of overhanging vegetation. Jim and Dan operated the power-wheelbarrows that kept us supplied with gravel and rocks. A slight source of amusement was the breaking of the on-off switch on the City's newest power-wheelbarrow, which was made lighthearted by Dan's ability to get it running without the nob of the switch being on the machine. Tom worked to add a retaining wall to ease the slope of a climbing turn on a switchback and even Oliver tried to help level the foundations for the rocks.
