Google Earth view of the trails in the Los Robles East area. The "Descent of Death" is shown in red. The bypass we built is pink. The loose rocks were removed from the light green section of the Conejo Crest Trail, and the dark green trail trail had brush cut back, loose rocks removed and drainages installed. For reference, the Los Robles East Trail is on the left side of the image, and the White Horse Canyon trail at the bottom, both in blue.

A few days before the event, a few crew leaders scouted the trails to see what work needed to be done. This section was cleared of brush by the rangers. There are a lot of rocks and stumps to remove.

The crew I was with gets to work on a loose, rocky, slightly steep trail that connects the Conejo Ridge Trail to the White Horse Canyon Trail.

We scraped off loose rocks and built drains so winter rainwater doesn't further erode the trail. We also cleared overgrowing brush to make it wider.
