As Dave Edwards and John Kross were on Santa Cruz Island and rain was forecasted for Friday 12/2/2022, I volunteered to scout the Serrano Valley Loop Trail in advance of Saturday's outing. Not having a 4WD vehicle and being concerned about the condition of Serrano Rd, I started hiking at the junction of Cotharin Rd and Serrano Rd. Not only was the asphalt road to the gate in good shape with little brush, but the dirt road from the gate to the washout was in excellent shape having been recently graded by Jason Finlay and his State Parks crew. I began noting the condition of the Serrano Valley Loop Trail after hiking about 3 miles in from the car taking pictures and notes for the first 0.2 miles to where the trail entered a lengthy grassy section which would probably be the maximum distance we could clear on the first outing. I continued to flag the rest of the entire trail as it indistinct in many places for the benefit of future SMMTC outings as well as aiding anyone else attempting to follow the sometimes sketchy route. Returned to car at Cotharin and Serrano after covering about 10 miles out and back. On returning home, I provided a report to Dave and John detailing what to expect on the outing. Participants: Jon Sheldon.
Total volunteer hours: 1 volunteer x 5 hours = 5 hours
