THEM BOOTS BE GETTING DUSTY 🥾⁠
⁠
Well... our summer break is coming to a close. We're super eager to get back on the trail, but wanted to remind you where we left off. June and July were spent up on Lower Gabrielino Trail with a lot of brushing. Our mighty volunteers knocked off 4mi of trail! We wanted to widen the corridor and open up sight lines. The brave ones took down a bunch of poison oak too. 📏⁠

Throughout the summer our Trail Angels have been brushing and maintaining some of their favorite trails. We salute those of you for keeping it all going. 🫡 by @mwbaorg

MWBA is working with Bellfree Contractors and the USFS to stabilize and widen the tread on a lower section of the Sunset Ridge Trail. This section of trail is narrow and prone to washing out. This work should decrease future wash outs and make the tread more comfortable for all trail users.⁠
This work will continue for the next few weeks. Please slow down and use extra caution while navigating the trail. by @mwbaorg

A small but mighty crew of 6 forged through the deep creek crossings of the Lower Gabrielino and up over the dam last weekend. 🚣⁠
⁠
Our ultimate goal is to get over into the wash and reconstruct a washed away section of the Gabrielino. So in preparation to move volunteers up trail we got to brushing the switchbacks and benching to allow users to stay away from the edge. 🔀⁠
⁠
Arroyo Seco? More like Arroyo Mojado ;) 💦⁠

#TBT⁠
Since first building it in the 90's, MWBA has continued to steward Ken Burton Memorial Trail. February, with the help of 16 amazing volunteers, we have finished brushing the trail from top to bottom. 😎⁠
⁠
After pedaling 7 miles up the steep road, we ✂️ whitethorn and prickly scrub oak brushing the top three switchbacks. Thanks to the dedication of our ardent and capable volunteers, the trail is currently brushed top-to-bottom and is running as good as the day it was restored!⁠

FEBRUARY 💘 VOLUNTEER DAY: ⁠
⁠
We're gonna' continue to show our love for this trail! It's running great but could use a little tune up. 🎵 Our focus will be on general brushing. ⁠
⁠
Volunteers will head out from JPL on Sunday, Feb 15th up to the Upper Brown Mountain Saddle and down to the Memorial. This is a bike-in only day due to distance. 🚵 Riders should be able to climb 2,000 feet over 6 miles - followed by the epic descent we all love and know after provided lunch on the trail to return home.🥪⁠
