Friday 10/23/2026
a small but eager crew

Here's your sign,
looks like everything goes that way

Howie is right back where he left off

Jim pounds it in to keep it stable

Howie is on to the next spot,
this time it's a drainage feature

Look what he found in a dead log

Joe checks on his progress

Continuing to remove cobble and define the trail

Saturday morning
George brings another bucket of mineral soil

Chris is adding running steps and water bars

There's a trail here somewhere,
just look for the white blaze

Marty's plan is to blow the leaves off the trail

Now it's easy to find the the right path

There's no question which way to go

What a beautiful day for a hike

Some of the damaged steps that have been repaired

More repaired steps,
we've been very busy

George brought his own chair for lunch break.
After all, why not be comfortable

Another section of inviting trail

The view from our worksite
is simply breathtaking

End of day crew meeting being warmed by the sun

A beautiful Sunday morning.
No rain today thank goodness

Heading up to the top of the mountain

Keep following the white blaze, we're almost there

But we're still improving the trail

Chris is hard at work building running steps

And clearing a path for better drainage

A section of bedrock
covered in Cladoniaceae fungi

A great food source for wild animals

We continue to work on the final area

And blocking off a large braided section

Finally at the end of this project

The beauty shot of the weekend.
Wow! What can I say but Wow!

Final crew meeting for this project
