AAT Workdays - July 11 - 12

So are we doing Cleghorn sunday? No point to meeting at the disco center if that is the case.

People can go down the mountain vai Cleghorn for sure. Probably do at least a litlte bit of work first. I'll be in 146.585, we plan to camp here, roughly midway through the trail.

Thinking about heading up this afternoon, and meeting up with you guys sat am on 2n49.

I'm heading up pretty soon today. You're welcome to camp with me on the trail. You can get me at 146.585.
 
I am out entirely, at this point... have fun, work well!!
 
Thanks for coming out to help, Matt, Sean, John, Kim, and Peter! Your hours directly help to keep this and other trails open.


Sebastian, Charlotte, and I left my house around noon and made the drive to 2N49. We slowly made our way up the trail checking for garbage and illegal off-trail usage. We found the trail to be in fairly good condition although, as we already knew, it does have some significant erosion issues we will have to deal with before the next rainy season (if we should have one!).

We then camped off of the trail overlooking San Bernardino.

We woke up Saturday morning, had breakfast, and met with Matt (XCM) and Sean (Souske) to continue our project of clearing the 2N49C spur.

Sebastian and Charlotte did a pretty significant amount of brush work for their ages.

All in all despite our small crew we put a good dent in the project. Thanks Sean and Matt!

I ended up coming down with a cold Saturday afternoon so was a bit miserable Saturday night. It was just the kids, Sean, and I camping out for Saturday night so we cooked a fairly simple dinner and hung out. I turned in to bed around 9PM hoping to sleep off the cold.

No luck for me, I woke up Sunday still in poor shape. We were joined by JohnX, his girlfriend Kim, Peter Ford, and, much to Charlotte's joy, John's dog Sarge. Since I wasn't feeling well I sent them along to do brushwork under Sean's qualified leadership while I slowly packed up camp.

After I packed up I explored 2N43, 2N45, 2N59, and 2N13X looking for an illegal trash dump I hard heard about. I was unable to locate the dump but I did get to eat lunch in a nice place.

All in all from Friday through Sunday we put in a collective 114 hours.

Thanks to the volunteers! I hope to see you and more at the next Adopt-A-Trail maintenance day.
