We met at the dirt lot at Wendy and Potrero. Dave Edwards brought all the tools. We had a total of 7 SMMTC crew leaders/volunteers. We took 2 vehicles into the park and parked at the Upper Sycamore junction. The group hiked to the point on the Fossil Trail where Barry Dydyk's crew had ended work on 10/7/23. The group split into 2 teams, with Dave leading Carlyn Taggart, Ruth Feldon and Jon Sheldon in assessing and cleaning out existing drains; Denise Pomonick and Anne Russell followed Greg Sweel, who ran the brush cutter. In total, team 1 opened up 19 existing drains. We stopped work and hiked back to the 2 vehicles at the trailhead and enjoyed a soda at the picnic table, courtesy of Dave. We returned to the cars in the Wendy lot by 2:00 pm. NOTE: We worked to about .75 miles up Fossil; that means that about .25 remains to be brushed and there a few drains remaining to be opened.
Crew: Ruth Feldon, Dave Edwards, Carlyn Taggart, Jon Sheldon, Greg Sweel, Denise Pomonik, Anne Russell
