This Saturday at 8:00 AM, we have a very difficult assignment but one that is absolutely necessary. 

We will meet just off Route 154 at the junction of Foxen Canyon Road and Ballard Canyon Road. I am bad with my directions but you will find John's truck parked in that turn-out that is at the very beginning of Ballard Canyon Road. There has been some construction there, and there is ample parking as we fan out trying to get all the way to the Route 101 interchange.

Let's meet at 8:00 AM this coming Saturday and work along Alisal Road. Let's meet about a hundred yards past the main entrance to the Ranch (which is about two miles past the bridge over the River). John will be there and coordinate our efforts. I am hoping that we can get all the way down to the State Park and even a half mile beyond it.

No cleaning this week

Dear Friends:

The reports that find their way back to us on the East Coast are troubling. I hope that all remain safe, but I am concerned about the air quality. 

John may disagree with me, but I think the wisest move will be to cancel our cleaning efforts this coming Saturday, July 13. 

Of course, we will resume just as soon as the air quality permits.
