On Saturday, this crew worked on about 85% of the length of the trail segment leading from the bottom of the drainage up to the existing access trail.

In some sections the trail followed a drainage line until it could be directed off trail. Check/Steps were placed here to aid trail users and prevent further down-cutting.

On Sunday, Kathy Sharp and Rogil Schroeter led a large group of the volunteers through the slot.
