We had 4 new members and 15 regulars out for at least part of the Day. We started out with most of the crew moving firewood for Susan and I took a few workers to take care of a reported tree across the STS trail near the Lodge.
After this one we called it a day since the next few were getting larger and there is always next month.

There was a great turn out and we got a lot done. There is more to do on Basin trail and Kurt's map was a great tool. We put in 135 hours and I would like to thank Norm, Dale S., Janie, Michele, Dale P., David P., Janette, Mike, Herman, Francis, Dell, Manny, Anita, new members Curt, Kamal, Fulon, and Winbert.
