Workers: 1 Ken Crump
Time spent: 8.0 hours including commute
Work done: Worked southern end of Rockjock Trail from the road to the drainage just south of Balanced Rock.
I made it to the trailhead a little early. After taking pictures of the signs, I trimmed grass at the trailhead, and cleaned the trail down to the point it starts to turn downhill. At the time I changed tools and started down the hill clipping and chopping back anything in the way. It wasn't long until Jim caught up and we worked together to the cliff edge where we took a break. Last year the ridge out to where Rockjock turns back into Mossy Canyon was just about closed up with low growing spiny locust. It wasn't so bad this year, so we walked on in to the first drainage in the canyon. There Jim cleared some rotten deadfall from the waterway and we
clipped and snipped our way back up the the ridge. Climbing back up the ridge we took an occasional whack at things that were missed on the way down. It always looks different going the other direction. At the top we took more sign photos and soon called it a day.
Photos are here.
