63 volunteers, ranging in age from their 20’s to their 80’s, showed up in spite of the cold wet weather. We had 12 work sites spanning over 1300 feet. Each of the sites were led by a veteran maintainer who taught trail maintenance skills to the new volunteers. Two major switch backs were totally rebuilt with new rock steps and water diversions. It takes creativity and ingenuity to build rock steps! All the rocks must be found near the work site and moved manually since it is not feasible to bring up mechanical equipment. Countless log steps were also installed. In total, over 1300 feet of trail tread was improved. This included water diversion, root and rock removal, and other tread improvements to keep the trail in top shape for the safety an enjoyment of hikers.
