Eight of us, Carlyn Taggart, Jon and Ruth Sheldon-Feldon, Dave Edwards, Don Brusselars, George Sherman, Greg Sweel, and myself, met at the Peter Strauss Ranch asphalt parking area. We signed in and proceeded to the work area, 4/10th of a mile up the trail. With two brush cutters, and careful not to disturb the burrowing wasps that got Greg the previous time, we slowly made our way up the hill. The brush was thick, poison oak was everywhere, and progress was slow. We arrived at a point on the trail where we had to figure out which way to go, and after some exploring, agreed on a path to follow. This path is completely covered with vegetation, with many fallen trees that have to be removed. At this point, and given the time of day, we decided to call it quits. NPS will have to provide us with guidance, should we continue restoring this trail or do they have other plans for it. Total volunteer hours: 8 x 6 = 48 hours Feet maintained: 1,320
