| no partners | | Hiked a crew of 9 volunteers into the Mazzies for a week-long volunteer vacation event. We had a great time removing manzanita, oak, locust and other shrubby stuff from the AZT between Chilson and our base at Horse Camp Seep. We got about 2 miles VERY clear, and another 1/2 mile somewhat open. We also removed logs from the portion above Horse Camp to the Park. Lots of hard work from these amazing folks!
Started out up the Barnhardt. Our generous equestrian support volunteer, Bill, said that he'd never been on such a difficult brush-busting adventure that was still called a "trail". He's from Colorado, where they spoil folks good evidently. We whacked our way back to HCS and settled in for our 5 days of trail work. Such a commute you never saw!
One day, we had an afternoon off, so I went looking for Deadman's Falls. I found it - and then we went back a couple of times to show the doubters that there could be such a magnificent waterfall just off the trail we'd been living on all week. Minds were BLOWN!
We hiked out in the rain, making the trip overall much better weather wise than anyone dreamed it could be. I'm so thankful to have a job that allows me to consider a backpacking trip and 5 days of hanging out in the Mazzies just another "week at the office"! |
