Work Day 24Sep2009 South Rockjock

Date: 24Sep2009
Workers: 1  Ken Crump
Time Spent: 10 hours (includes commute)
Work Done:  Sheared Rockjock from road to beyond Crevasse Creek

I caught up with Jim's truck on the way up Kistler.  We parked and hit the
trail.  Like Jim said, we clipped lightly on the way down the hill, and probably
a little more intensely after passing through the back of Mossy canyon.

The objective was to work the area between Moonshine Canyone and Tshirt Point
really well.  We didn't quite make it do Moonshine due to time and the hot/humid/buggy
conditions, but the area from beyond Crevasse Creek back to Tshirt is now in really
good shape.  The trail beyond that was very discernable, so I'm sure Moonshine is
not too bad since we were there in July.

We also threw some deadfall out of the trail in several places.  There are a few
new logs down, but due to the weather conditions we left them for cooler times.
They can be gotten over easily.

I took a few photos, and I'll try to get those posted somewhere tonight.

We saw lizards, buzzards, a wood pecker, lots of deer tracks, a turkey on
Kistler, and Jim almost killed a Deere on 126 (that guy was really lucky).

Another good day in the woods Jim.  I enjoyed it in spite of the conditions.
