Trip Report

We met at the main Spencer Butte trailhead to work to continue and finish cleaning the drainage features along the Main Summit and Tie trails. This month we all hiked up to the Junction Meadow and down the Tie Trail to start. We all worked our way back to the main parking lot along the Tie and Main Summit trails cleaning drainage ditches and culverts and picking up garbage. While clearing the ditches along the upper portion of the Tie Trail Chyanne and Autumn got the opportunity to roll a large section of log out of the ditch and down off the trail. David cut down part of an tree top that had impaled itself into the drainage ditch and then he and Dan pulled the impaled portion's 2 to 3 feet out of the ground before tossing it end over end off the trail.

Find of the month goes to Trenton for retrieving a blue fiberglass post with a no hiking sign that someone removed from somewhere on the butte and threw way off the main trail. The amount of beer containers and chewing gum we picked up was astounding. Clara again did an amazing job cleaning the kiosk and steps this month.
