number of workers:1 ( Jim de Friess)
time spent: 8 hours (includes commute)
Work done: What a difference a week makes. After a hot, physically
draining, buggy trip on RJ last week. Ken and I met at Old Conley in a
cool gentle breeze. Leaving Gatorade in the creek to keep it cool we
clipped and sawed our way down Conley.
At the bottom we gathered trash to carry out, and enjoyed a snack
watching the river.
Then we clipped our way back up Conley, rescued the cool Gatorade from
the creek and drank it. I would say Conley is in good shape for fall
and winter. There is also less trash in the campsites at the bottom.
Ken pointed out that the big tree I thought was hemlock across the LGT
about 50' from Conley was an Oak (about 2' diameter). There is also a
new fallen Hickory (1.25 ') across the trail on near the bottom. Its a
low duck to get under, but possible. Everything else can be easily
stepped over- well- There is a uprooted trunk and a large log near it on
the uphill side that is hard to squeeze through.
We were in the woods 6 hours and I don't remember a bug buzzing me at
all. I was also able to mostly be in the shade.
Another good day in the woods, thanks Ken.
