Summary: We met at 0830 at the Cistern trailhead parking along Mulholland Hwy. The work today consisted almost entirely of brushing and weed clearing. We employed two battery powered hedge trimmers, one gas powered hedge trimmer and two gas powered weed whackers. At the juncture of Cistern and Lookout trails we split up into two groups, with one group clearing the Cistern trail and the other group clearing the Lookout trail. We only cleared about 0.18 mile or 950 ft of the Cistern trail (almost halfway down to Crags Rd.) which was very overgrown. The other group cleared all of the Lookout trail (0.43 miles or 2270 ft). Juan Carlo and Steve Messer worked an extra 3 hours on Lookout after the regular group finished. We hiked back to our cars arriving at about 2:00.
We plan to come back next Saturday and finish clearing the Cistern trail, starting at the bottom off of Crags Rd. If we finish the remaining ¼ mile or so, we’ll go to the Cage trail and work there until quitting time.
