:-?
Last weekend hiking just east of Molino Basin I noticed someone had just scraped away ~ the top inch of soil creating a berm on the side of the trail. (I appreciate the effort, but…) Although this may look nice and smooth it creates a drainage issue. Keeping water on the trail will do more harm than good in short order. “Work” was done since I was last on this trail about mid-May (Probably right before the fire closure). I hope to be contacting the local Forest Service trail coordinator w/ info. For what it’s worth just want to remind everyone drainage features are critical to maintaining tread in a desert environment!
Thanks,
