Hello everyone,

It's difficult writing a report that Bob won't see. I miss my mentor and friend.

But here it is, attached, from last week's session on the Challenge Trail extension. The trail construction crew has just completed work in the flat area that we've been enjoying for the last month, and we're heading back onto steeper terrain. However, tomorrow (and possibly next Thursday) we will work higher on the mountain, building some reroutes along the Crest Trail and an extension to the Switchback Trail near the Ellis trailhead, before returning to the Challenge extension next month (or possibly next week).

Last Thursday's volunteers were Joe Beman, David Bernstein, Jenny Blackmore, Sim Cook, Luis Cuadros, Bruce Hansche, Jim Houle, Ralph Kopp, Mike Madden, Pat Madden, Tony Pachelli, Eric Russell, Cleve Sharp and Roland Stumpf.
