Southern LGT November 25th

Date of work: November 25th, 2011
number of workers: 2 - Jim de Friess, Wayne Stines
Time spent:8.5 hours- includes partial commute, since our trip was not exclusively a work trip.

Work accomplished:  Wayne and I backpacked in to camp along Pinch In trail, and then headed south toward daffodil flats (DF).  We threw debris out of the trail and came to one area where people had been bypassing a trail blockage on the uphill side.  It was a rather awkward bypass. 

We continued south to an area just north of DF, where the trail come back to a point right along the river.  We decided at that point to turn around.  Last April I had noticed a campsite near the river and abandoned gear.  It was still there.  Wayne and I bagged it up and ultimately put it on a pole between us, and headed back toward our campsite.  On the way back we stopped and cleared the place that was blocked with pulaski.  From PI to almost DF along LGT should be in decent shape, one other area is blocked but bypassed, it would take a while to clear that one.

Once in camp, we sorted the trash and burned what we could.  We divided up what wouldn't burn and carried it up PI the next day.  It consisted of several pots, silverware, three glass bottles and two used propane cylinders.
