Take a Hike in Southern California

Tomor­row I’m going to give back to all of those that have gone before me. I’m going to spend the day help­ing oth­ers per­form some trail main­te­nance so that future hik­ers can enjoy hik­ing the trails in our area of South­ern Cal­i­for­nia as much as I have. I have no idea what to expect. I was told to bring myself and my reg­u­lar hik­ing gear, plenty of water and snacks and some heavy gloves. They will pro­vide all of the tools.

I’m actu­ally look­ing for­ward to this new expe­ri­ence – see­ing how oth­ers work together in the great out­doors. Since we have a fairly large lot with quite a few large trees on it, I spend plenty of time work­ing out­side try­ing to keep our place look­ing half-ways decent. It is espe­cially task­ing after a storm. I have a pretty good size trailer I fill up on a reg­u­lar basis and haul off to a nearby recy­cling business.

I’ll let you know in a cou­ple of days how it all went.

Do any of you out there help with trail main­te­nance? Tell us all about your experiences.
