Trip Report

For the last Wednesday evening outing of our summer schedule we met up at the main Spencer Butte parking lot to repair drainage on the West Trail and ready it for the coming fall, winter, and spring weather. Our group diligently went about repairing and replacing the rocks that are used to armor the outside edge of the drainage ditches along the cobble section of the West Trail. Everyone worked so quickly that we were even able to transplant some native rocks along the trail's sides and place debris along with them to encourage people to use the cobbled pathway. This is a continuation from last August's and many projects work to bring the West Trail back to the width of the cobble section. The Daves re-armored the longest drainage. Dan planted the most artistic as well as deceptively deep rocks.

As always our group was treated to immaculately cleaned steps upon our return courtesy of the diligent efforts of Clara.
