Thanks to our intrepid trail crew Hoberg’s Loop was completed on Saturday Oct. 19. You may have encountered the fork off of Mac’s Trail already but, if not, check it out. According to our sources, Hoberg’s Loop was the first trail built on BMDSF when Hoberg’s resort was a major destination for the Bay area so it likely dates back to the 1950’s or perhaps earlier. It’s great to have it back!

Hoberg Loop, one of the original trails established at Boggs, is nearing completion. On the morning of Saturday October 19 we plan to organize a group to finish the work and fine tune the trail. The work will include the use of mcleods, rakes and shovels. Please RSVP to [email protected] if you wish to join us. Spots are limited so respond as soon as possible. Lunch will be provided by FOBM with more details to follow for those who plan to attend.
We’d like to offer a huge shout out to Calpine for, once again, putting a whole lot of muscle into working with FOBM to start clearing the path for Grizzly Trail. On Thursday September 19, a small army of Calpine employees joined us in cutting in the first section of the trail. Chris Moe followed up this week with our Bobcat excavator, which Calpine also made possible, and continued with bringing back Grizzly Trail. Thank you to all the Calpine employees and FOBM members who made the day a success!
Nate’s Cutoff is now open! Nate’s Cutoff is a trail connecting Gail’s Trail to Boggs Peak
Trail on the southeast side of the forest. Many thanks to Ivo Nuti of Boy Scout Troop
405 in Pleasant Hill. Ivo and his family have a cabin in the area and come up often to
spend time hiking and mountain biking at Boggs. So, when it came time for Ivo to come
up with an Eagle Project on his path to the rank of Eagle Scout, he wanted to give
something back to BMDSF. So, he teamed up with FOBM to bring back Nate’s Cutoff
trail. Ivo worked with FOBM on several trail workdays learning trail building technique,
planning and flagging the trail and on Saturday September 14 brought some of the kids
in the troop up to do the final work on the trail. Once again, thank you Ivo and troop 405
for helping to “bring back Boggs”!
