Short Description of Activity
Mark Franklin and Dave Crans hiked down from the Clear Creek Trailhead to lower Hermosa
Creek Trailhead to recon the assignment to clear a portion of the Clear Creek Trail.
Reflection/Evaluation
The objective to was to learn what our cross cut team could expect and how many days it would take to help the Forest Service re-open this trail. Mark wrote a detailed report and determined we could complete the assignment in 3 days of work. From his notes and outing we organized a 2 night, 3 day camping trip to clear a portion of this trail whcih goes through the wilderness.
