SORBA Main is promoting a SORBA wide work weekend

much trail as possible and potentially complete the last section of
trail to complete the loop back to the East Overlook parking lot.
We need everyones help to make this goal happen. This will complete
approximately 16 miles of trails on the top of the mountain and set
the stage for phase 2.
