time spent 10 hours includes commute
Work done:

As Jim said, he had the parking area looking good when William and I arrived just before 9am.

We pulled our gear together and started down the hill.  I carried shears and clipped some as
we went.  The upper third of the trail was already in good shape, so the snipping was occasional.

At the river trail, we took a short break, then William left us to explore downstream a bit.  Jim
and I turned back uphill and started to work. An old food can was the first trash.  Jim had
a bag, so he became the "trash hauler".  I won't mention the later items, but they have now been
removed.  When we exited the woods, the shearing started in earnest.  We were moving slow
and clipping a lot, so Pinchin really didn't even get our heart rates up.  Standing on the steep
slope while working was a challenge in places, but all in all it was an easy climb.  William
later caught up to us again and kept us entertained with stories and good conversation the
rest of the day.

Pinchin is now clipped nice and wide.  The only challenge is the hill itself.

Thanks Jim and William for another good day in the woods.
