March 24-25 Babel-LGT-CC

Date of work: March 24 and 25
Number of workers :1 (Jim de Friess)
Time spent: 7 hours- includes commute
Work done: Hiked down Babel Tower performing light clipping, turned south on LGT continuing my light clipping.  Camped at Sandy Flats, cut one tree across the trail near camp.  Continued the next day lightly clipping along LGT south of Sandy Flats.  Came to the area in the photos above, 7 trees across trail in about 125'.  I numbered them such that "3" in one picture is the same tree as in the other picture.  At least three of these were across the trail prior to the awarded LGT improvement project.  To get there go down Conley Cove Head north- where the terrain becomes steep (some people call it the crag) it is just beyond there.

Any help on that would be good.  I went around it on the uphill side, but noticed Poison Ivy vines on the rocks.  I hope to camp there and work the trees/look for routes around etc. 

On the way up Conley I improved the crossing of the two big trees down on the lower part.  The one blocking the switchback (twice) needs tread work in the bypass.

LGT has been checked from DF to Babel, and the worst part- is the above mentioned.

I did have a great time though.
