Location: Cage Creek Trail, Malibu Creek State Park
Crewleader: Greg Sweel
Summary: A crew of 9 met at Regan Ranch at 8:30 AM. We discussed the safety precautions we’re to take for the COVID-19 pandemic and the anticipated work planned for the day. We then distributed the tools and hiked 0.7 miles on the Yearling Trail to the junction with the Cage Creek trail. We split into a couple of groups, with one continuing from last week’s effort to remove slough from the uphill side of the trail, widen/smooth the tread, and install water diversion drains. The other group proceeded down to the spot we worked on last week where the trail is sandwiched between an oak tree and a large rock outcrop. With assistance from two battery-powered hammer/drills provided by State Parks staff, the rock outcrop was cut back to a 4-foot wide clearance and benched. The day was cool and cloudy with a few light sprinkles. We stopped work and hiked back to the meeting location. We cleared about 550 feet or 0.1 mile of trail. After 2 consecutive outings, this trail is now returned to fine shape.
