A small group of members did a special hike on our own hill trails on Saturday, August 6th . This hike was special because they didn’t go all the way to the top but took Bay trail (shady) to Tower, then over to Oak (also shady) and back down. What also made this a special hike special was that they did a little TRAIL MAINTENANCE along the way. Specifically, where Bay meets Meadow/Tower (the area we cleared at last Spring’s trail maintenance day) we will simply cut a few weeds. The top end of the Bay Trail and the area we cleared last Spring has, or will soon become, overgrown with what looks like some nasty yellow star thistle weeds. Everyone pitched in until the entire job was complete — many thanks to everyone who helped! We even carried down a bag full of yellow star thistles that we cut so they wouldn’t stay there and possibly germinate.
