Hacking a trail out of wilderness is not an easy job
 Xavier Slevin smooths the forest floor along the Boulder Creek to Big Flat section of the Coast to Crest Trail. (The Daily Triplicate/Bryant Anderson)
Those hiking trails we take for granted don’t just appear, they are
hacked out of the wilderness, and it’s usually done by hand. Each foot
of packed earth, each carefully banked switchback, takes someone armed
with nothing more powerful than a chain saw, handtools and muscle.
While walking those smooth paths that tame even steep country by
following contours, it’s hard to imagine the work that goes into
trailblazing.
It’s easy to forget that every inch of forest floor is covered in
logs and brush, has thick roots, old stumps and rocks and generally is
far from the nearest amenities.
Easy to forget, unless you’re part of the California Conservation Corps.

Hot Club of San Francisco to kick off new DNACA season Saturday
 The Hot Club of San Francisco interprets the legacy of one of the world’s greatest guitar players, the Belgium-born gypsy Django Reinhardt, and French jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli. Photo Courtesy of Stuart Brinin “I never thought I’d see this music get so popular,” said Oakland-based guitarist Paul Mehling in a 2005 interview with the San Francisco Chronicle.
Mehling was referring to the “Gypsy jazz” that his Hot Club of San Francisco will play in concert for the first performance of the 2009-10 season of the Del Norte Association for Cultural Awareness. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in Crescent Elk Auditorium.

Back when Reinhardt starting playing jazz guitar, there were “almost no jazz musicians in Europe,” explained Mehling, so there were no American jazz musicians to jam with and learn from. “Those who had an affinity for it (such as Reinhardt and Grappelli, who met while playing with different bands on the same bill) learned it from records only.”
Twenty years ago, when Mehling decided to dedicate his professional life to this elusive, intricate, string-based music and founded the Hot Club of San Francisco, it was “difficult to find people to play the music and hard to book,” he said in a recent telephone interview. “It was like starting over again — starting from square one — each time I had to try to explain the music in words.”

The Redwoods Mural Society elected new members to its board at the recent September membership meeting.
President Helga Burns introduced new members Liz Crocket, Carmin Hollensead, Linda Ging and Mark Harper. They will each serve a three-year term. They join existing board members Helga Burns, Mary Foote, Cathy Dean, Kathy Kresa, Judy Baker, Harley Munger, Bob Cochran and Kirk Roberts.
This year, the Redwoods Mural Society was responsible for the Caltrans mural, “Building California Highways,” and has many new mural projects planned for the coming year.
Some of these projects have been requested by local businesses such as Discount Liquors, Front Street Inn, Hiouchi Motel and Sunset RV Park. The requests for murals in the city has increased substantially and RMS is hoping that it can accommodate many of the requests and paint more than one mural a year.
If you have any interest in participating with the group, contact Helga at 464-2710. RMS would also like to invite any and all artists who would like to become muralists.
