Trip Report

Our group of volunteers met at the Fox Hollow trailhead psyching ourselves up for a day in the rain. However, we were pleased to find that not a drop of rain fell on us thus proving the adage that "the weather's always perfect for trail maintenance!" For this month's outing we worked independently to clear drainage features along the Ridgeline Trail. We hiked in from the Fox Hollow trailhead and worked our way back clearing 22 culverts and their drainage ditches. Janet raked big leaf maple leaves and other debris off the entirety of the Ridgeline between Fox Hollow and the Tie Trail. Clara cleaned the kiosk and removed blackberries from along the upper portion of the Amazon Headwaters Trail.

The mornings rain brought about a delightful discovery of 4 or 5 rain beetles burrowing down into the trail.
