Three of us drove out to meet with two ATA workers doing machine trail widening and machine tread work on AZT #16. The location was about a half mile east of Cochran so we waded the Gila from the south side and hiked along AZT. My first time at Cochran and in this general area of the Gila/AZT. The coke ovens looked interesting and lots of mining history.

This was relatively easy work but great to be outside with these guys in this perfect weather! The machine with a 400lb hammer smashes the bedrock and we then clear the rubble off the trail with hands, McLeod’s and shovels.

Saw a thru hiker NOBO, 15 mountain bikers doing Picketpost to Kelvin and a group of hikers from Wisconsin.
