Time spent :9 hours -including commute
Workers: 1, Ken Crump
Work: Clean logs and fallen brush from Rockjock to Razor Creek area.

Jim and I had a good day out there today. Like he said, I lost count, but I think we removed
4 to 6 small trees before we made it to Bluejay. There was some trimming of limbs encroaching from
the sides too and fallen limb removal.

At Bluejay we worked at getting the butt end of the large fallen Hemlock off the trail. Up until
now it was necessary to practically crawl over it. Now only the lower portion is left, and it creates
a step. As it decays we'll be able to clean it all out.

From there, there was one tree at Split Rock we've been going under for a while. It is no more.
Between there and Razor Creek there were several more, along with the ones Jim mentioned
in the creek drainage and just beyond it. On the way out we took out one "widow maker" that
was leaning over the trail, and did some more 'sprucing up'.

The weather was just right, and the ground was mostly frozen. It was a great day to be on the
trail, and it was nice to get back to work out there. Thanks for a good time, Jim!
