A small portion of the Ray Miller Trail remained unfinished after the marathon session on 5/6/2023. To “check the box” and complete the entire trail, two crew leaders returned to clear the remaining section which turned out to be 0.2 miles. This was much more than expected.
One person started at the lower end and cleared copious amounts of mustard with a battery-operated hedge trimmer. The other started at the far end with hand tools removing not only mustard but also woody/brushy plants that choked both sides of the trail at the gully about ½ mi from the TH. The trail was very overgrown for 75’ before and 75’ after this spot causing uphill hikers to continue straight ahead as the turn to the right was not obvious. The actual trail is now easily seen, especially with the clippings and branches that were placed across the incorrect path.
