Trip Report

Jason and Christer of Parks and Open Spaces met Matt at the main Spencers Butte parking lot at 5:15. We waited until 5:30 in hopes that our work party would be joined by other Obsidians (in the mean time enjoy some excellent Bene pizza the city provided). At 5:30 we headed up the trail carrying some rock bars, posthole diggers, and a fence rail so we could add another section of fencing to help route people to the top of the butte. The first hole went in perfectly in a matter of several minutes. In contrast, the second hole was much slower as we had to chip our way down through a rotten stump that was buried under the trail. By just after 7 we had the section of fence completed. We were back to the parking lot by 7:30 the end of our successful trail maintenance outing. - Matthew Bell.
