Pedernales Falls State Park, TX - by Jae Kim
The weather could not be any better. Although it dipped below the freezing point the night before, it went up to 80 degrees on the work day. A blue sky with no clouds and the cool breeze greeted us while we were taming the badly eroded trail.
Under Mark Henneke's leadership, nineteen volunteers worked on the short trail (about 30 feet long) that leads to the river from the Youth Camping area. The heavy rainwater caused the erosion during the winter.
The crew brought up buckets full of rocks from the river bed and filled up large voids. Then, a mix of dirt and gravel was added on top using wheelbarrows. Due to the large number of volunteers, the work was completed before lunch time.
Generous park rangers cooked delicious cornbread and beef stew for us. Some of the crew camped there Saturday night as well.
