Scout Troop 17 in Pine Canyon

Today was a great day to be out working on the PCT! After Pete and the PCTA Trail Gorillas cleared trail this week, Palmdale Scout Troop 17 was out today to clear the cuttings off the trail.
This general area remains the most-worked part of Section E, due to the 2004 Pine Fire and heavy precipitation of the following winter. Now the chaparal is growing back with a vengeance! The PCT out here is likely to see increased traffic with Sec D closed now, but that's good, and with more trail users, the maintenance work is enjoyed by more people.
