On Saturday the Rox neighborhood trails group worked on the Uplifting Rocks Trail. The trail itself runs along the base of the red rock cliffs. It’s 100% shaded by trees, some of which broke down under the weight of last winter’s snow. Hence the need for our efforts last Saturday.
There were eight of us: Two with chain saws, the rest grunt laborers dragging brush out to where neighborhood maintenance crews can get to it for chip and haul. Looks like we also have a bit of erosion mitigation to do on the trail there. Ah well. One thing at a time, folks: Uplifting Rocks weren’t built in a day, y’know.
If you’re in the neighborhood this summer – first Saturday of each month – come on out and lift up some deadwood with us. If you’re lucky and brave, you might even get to pet some wildlife too. (JK – Trail Rule #1: Never touch the wildlife!)
