First I would like to pass on an appreciation from Kevin Williams from last month.
This month we headed to the coast this time out. Rain was in the forecast but all we had were clouds.
We met at the RDO HQ and Marti set us to work. A Scrub Jay welcomed us as well as a number of other birds.
Our first project was Twin Redwood camp grounds. There was a large 3 foot diameter oak down through campsites 5 and 6. I worked on the trail while Peter tackle the top of the tree.
There was a lot of work done on bring the sites up to standard. But the biggest effort was finding a place for all the limbs and stuff from the limbing of the oak.
We put in posts for campsite location markers and directions. Once again it amazes me what volunteers in number can do.
We moved the larger sections to the campsite to make a comfortable place to sit for the visitors.
The next job was to clean up Alder campsite. This job was to create a campsite and to take down the grass. We planned a few post and ended the day.
We had 9 members out and a special thanks to Roger, Gene, Janette, Fran, Tim, Peter, Mike, and Tom. Next month the plan is to head back out to RDO since Marti has offer up a BBQ. We should respond in kind with an offering of a pot luck dish.
Here's another thanks to the trail crew.

Hi Jeff and crew,
As always, the volunteer crew amazes me with the spirit and work accomplished each month in the Santa Cruz Mountain parks. It has been a real help so that others can enjoy the trails and sights safely! Kudos again for all the winter storm repairs removing tree falls, repairing smashed bridges, and rerouting trails around thousand year old trees that fell down!!
Thank you on behalf of the people of California, the park staff, and California State Parks!
Let me know if there is anything we can do to help.
Kevin
