Detailed Description
Took a PTO day off work to take advantage of the recent rains, to assess the water drains on the Bear Canyon Loop Trail on the San Mateo Wilderness.
Left the truck 6:0 am, 39-degrees at the Candy Store. Frost on every square inch of trail until the sun rose above the ridgeline.
Restored about 6 existing drains, the first 3 gps coordinates are for the ones pictured in the Google Album, link below.

Encountered three separate groups of hikers, first one being one female heading to the base of Sitton Peak. I saw her again as I was taking a break at the intersection of Bear Canyon Loop Trail and Verdugo Truck Trail, as she was returning back to the Candy Store.
Second group of 2 females and a white labrador retriever, heading to Sitton Peak.
Third group, 1 male, one female and and one dog of indiscriminate breed. Not sure their intended destination.
