Several of us met at 7:30 a.m. to do prep work (heavy brush removal & layout of tools). The remainder of the crew was ready to go at 8AM. The crew broke into two groups, with one group hiking to a section of heavily overgrown Ceanothus and crawling into and under the brush with saws and electric shears, followed by several supporters who raked up the cuttings and a used McLeod things up. The second group worked down the trail with three hedge trimmers and five supporters who raked up the cuttings. The plan was for Juan and George and eventually Ruth and Richard to lead the charge into the heavy brush making it possible for the brush cutters to clear the remaining brush encroaching on the trail. We cleared about .35 of a mile and finished working on the Nicholas Flats Trail. Crew size: 10. Total hours worked: 62.50 (5 volunteers x 6.50 hours, 5 volunteer x 6.00 hours). Total feet of trail maintained: 1,850 feet ( 0.35 miles).
Crew: Jon Sheldon, Dave Edwards, Juan Carlo Mendoza, John Kross, Ruth Feldon, George Sherman, Greg Sweel, Carlyn Taggart
