From Riverside Ruff Riders, the AAT for 3N93:
Saturday 7/2 a group of the Ruff Riders and a large number of guests
performed maintenance on the Holcomb Creek Trail (3n93). Total we had 14 vehicles, 5 from san diego (guesstimate miles of 300 roundtrip each) and 9 more from local area (guesstimate miles at 100 roundtrip each) for a total of 24 people. We were on the holcolm creek trail from 9:30 to 6:00 we picked up trash and rearranged rocks as needed.
A small number from the group worked on the sidehill that has caused us
some trouble. I rented a gas powered jack hammer and we widened the trail in some areas up to 12 inches. For the most part though, we concentrated on leveling out the road bed. There is an area on the side hill that will require a more permanent solution and that would be the drop into the small stream. The soil as you drop into the stream heading west is more "sandy" in consistency and no amount of work seemed to harden it. Our idea was to find a way to secure some sort of chain link to the stream bank and then fill with rock to keep the stream bank from eroding further. We couldn't really come up with any other solutions unless your engineer may have some ideas.
We did find some other areas that are going to require attention in
particular heading west out of the middle rock garden area there is a wash
out area that has taken part of the road and just past the water crossing
entrance there is a new route that replaced the original damaged road bed.
We also found the swastika carved into a tree at the water crossing
entrance which we erased. The orginal plan was to box it out but we ended
up totally removing it.
We ran into a lot of traffic on the trail, not large organized groups but
small groups of 2-5 vehicles. There was also a large number of people at
the water crossing entrance who were playing in the water with a large
number of kids.
