Number of workers: 1 (Jim de Friess)
work done:
I met Ken at the old Conley entrance and we hiked south on RJ using our Pulaskis to clear trees off the trail. We didn't clear everything, but we got some of the worse ones. We worked on a few trees prior to Blue Jay canyon, but spent a lot of time in Blue Jay on the trunk of the big tree, I had previously cleared. It was good to have two to move some of the cuts.
We continued south, and cleared as we went, Ken was counting but lost track I think. There was a tree at split rock, around the corner there were more. One big hemlock we left, its hard to cross but its 16" in diameter or so and would require two cuts, it can be gotten around. It seemed there was always another tree. We made getting to Zen creek a goal and cleared brush out of the trail there. We went further south checking the bypass around the huge tree that fell in the trail, and tweaked it some. We checked conditions at the razor point turn and went on to razor creek. At razor creek there was an 8" hemlock 3' high across the trail requiring two cuts so we did that, another trunk was in the low spot mostly blocking the trail and just south was a leaner that was hard to go around. We got it, then turned around, and headed back toward the trucks.
Rock Jock is much easier to hike, a few bigger trees remain.
We took our time and did a few tweaks coming out. It was a good day in the woods with good company.
