The first order of business is to chop out the chaparral stumps
|
|

The COSCA rangers had cut down the brush a week earlier so the job of the volunteers was to dig out the dirt to make a level trail tread
|
|
 |
This is the location of the 'lower' switchback before much work had been done. It took a lot of workers to dig this out properly!
