6/5/2011 northern RJ

Date of work: 6/5/2011
number of workers:1 (Jim de Friess)
time spent:6 hours includes commute

Work done:  Arrived and got ready to hike at old Conley by 10 am.  Ken popped out of the woods startling me.  We hiked to Hacker's point clipping only what was sticking out on the trail.  At Hacker's we decided to clip back toward Old Conley.  We had discussed going further, but looking back, I'm glad we didn't.  We clipped really well from hackers back to the south side of Fern canyon at that point we were feeling tired and clipped faster- not being as thorough and leaving some.  I guess Ken made fern canyon look good, after that we it was quick clipping.

There was one tree at the turn people use to fern point, that Ken chopped, we moved and then cleaned up the trail.

At Jason's puddle we went out to lost dog, but decided not to hang hammocks, opting for the campsite at old Conley instead.  We came out by lost dog pond which was down to mud only.

At Old Conley we hung hammocks, had a snack and whittled some - off the clock.  There was an occasional black fly- looking for Jason, some mosquitos, but it was in the shade- not cold but cooler - pleasant.  A few hikers went by.

It was a great day in the woods with Ken.   The sun sapped up all my energy though.

RJ is in good shape from Conley to Hacker's
