Today, we had 3 JustRuns, 1 SCUFF, and 5 TDS members on our end of the new trail extension off of the Gunslinger Trail at Corral Canyon.   Today's work consisted of a lot of digging and cutting of brush as well as pulling out Manzanita stumps. All of it hard, physical. There were about 8 people working on the other end of the new trail working in our direction (yes, burning the candle at both ends). So approx 17 total workers..    Took about 4-5 hours to clear about 150 ft. of trail. Even with all that help we still aren't seeing the other crew work towards us.  Once the trail is completed, it should be a challenging 3+ to 4 level of difficulty trail.

The next time TDS forms a work party to do trail work, hopefully we can recruit more people to help as these trails are for all to enjoy..
