Number of workers: 2 Jim and Jared de Friess
Time spent: 5 hours each- which includes commute
work accomplished:
We got bored and went to Bynum bluff. We started with shears and
loppers down the trail, when we got to where people weren't using the
switchback we discovered they had thrown the obstacles I placed there
Thursday out of the way. We widened the trail they are supposed to use,
and placed a bigger pile of brush to be moved in both the upper and
lower ends of the shortcut. There was also a standing dead tree (4") at
the lower end, I cut it down and fell it where people shouldn't have
been walking but were. Maybe....
While I was doing this, Jared went down to where we stopped being
thorough Thursday and worked his way back up. He only had shears, but
he was doing a fine job. Some loppers on the lower reaches may be in
order still. There is also some tread work that can be done where it
side hills on the way down.
Over all it is in much better shape. It was shady, no bugs, and 10
drops of rain on us and a thunder clap. A storm edge maybe went by.
It was a great day to be in the woods, and I watched a group use the
switchback they were supposed to as they hiked out.
