Tasks completed: Brushed encroaching vegetation at various, appropriate spots between the BMP and EMP coordinates; created new water drain.

Blaine and Jerome biked nearly all the way up to hedge the upper reaches and upper switchbacks, respectively. Darshan and Mat hiked with hedgers in hand to trim from the bottom up. Joseph, Vincent, Fernando, Andrew, John and Keith hauled up 15 gallons of water to do some summer dirt work. They fixed a rut and built a new drain to mitigate future erosion.
