South RJ - near the road

Date of work: Feb. 5, 2012
Number of workers: 1 Jim de Friess
Time spent: 4 hours - includes commute
Work done: Upper south end of RJ, I cut down 5 trees and worked on or built 10 waterbars.  I only worked down to sitting rock (1/3 of the way to the cliffs).

There was one particular tree across the trail, a big maple - hard as rock and waist high.  The bases of these trees however are rotten so they break off at ground level.  Since another even bigger one was leaning unfavorably I decided to cut it down too.  Most of the other leaning trees were rotten and ready, I only cut the the rotten leaners.

I've had a great two days in the woods.
