Work trip January 29, 2005
We had a good turn out of volunteers on this day. The sun was out, no rain, and although fairly cold, we had a great day. We able to travel only a short distance up the fire road as landslides abounded. Finally we had to stop at the one great slide that was beyond our work crew abilities. So we had to hike in.

Many have heard of the
torrential rain storms we have been experiencing in the last several weeks here
in southern California. On Jan 8, 2005, in the rain, Brian Marcroft braved
a sojourn to the mountain all alone. He wanted to see, among other things,
how well things stood up in the deluge after fixing some of the drainage areas
back on 12/11/04.
Below see a "before-after" view of what he found on Jan 8.

| OH BROTHER !
Here are some photos from our road clearing
work party on Oct. 30 after all those rains.
Got to clear the road for our December event !!
Thanks to the mountain bikers (see picture
below) who helped move
the last rock off the road. A new lady - Karon - helped today, and
she does a mean hammer.
Particularly the look and pose of Joe Hall.
Thanks for your help, Mountain Bikers !! |

The picnic table seen below was thrown over the side, and had been uprooted from its securing post (can be seen in photo). We procured a "healthy" chain from our inventory and surreptitiously wrapped the chain around the base of the table so that the vandalism could not occur again. Another work day we will return to secure to securing posts on both sides. We usually find many boulders and slides on the road that must be broken up and put over the side. The Reservoir near the Observatory
was full of debris. We cleaned it out and this is the "after" shot

Work Party on January 10, 2004
We
left the gate around 8:00 AM and got as far as we could go.... close to
the campground at the Alpine Tavern but not there, after 12:30. The
pictures speak for themselves.
