Non-profit, all-volunteer trail building and maintenance in the San Francisco Bay Area
Project: El Corte De Madera OSP
Sierra Morena Trail
Activities: On December 4th, 2021, we will be doing general maintenance on the Sierra Morena Trail in the El Corte de Madera OSP. This is a two-mile long trail and we hope to refresh the entire length of the trail during our workday. We will stage from the southern parking lot as the trail begins there. Volunteers are asked to carpool to the extent possible as this is a popular trailhead and we would like to leave space for the general public.
Project: Worksite TBD at Shasta-Trinity
Activities: Returning to our annual tradition of a multi-day work experience.
Camping Site – We’ll be staying at Cabin Creek Trailhead, East of McCloud about 25 minutes, on Squaw Creek. It is a beautiful site right on a creek that is a great place to camp, I stayed there for a week doing trail work during COVID last year. It is undeveloped with a pit toilet. No internet or cell phone access. The Forest Service has agreed to let us use it as a group site for the weekend. We’re not able to have camp fires. GPS will take you right to it.
Food – We’re planning to have Friday night and Saturday night catered, and cook breakfasts at the site. Each person will make their own lunch before we leave each day. Are there any dietary restrictions of food allergies that we need to know about?
Work Site – We’re still discussing this. We have several possible sites in mind, and we want to hike a couple of them before we decide. One of the two sites requires about a 45 minute commute from the campsite. I won’t have this settled until just before you travel. Ian Nelson, our PCTA rep, confirmed that there is no PCT work needed near your cabin, which is why we move to Cabin Creek.
