Segment 28a steward Sandy requested help with three downed trees, so a couple freshly recertified sawyers met her Saturday morning to remove them. Trees 1 and 2 went just fine, but number 3 was far from the typical tree-across-the-trail situation.

A short distance trail-south of Hay Meadow Tank an extremely large tree on the very edge of the AZT took what had to have been a massive lightning strike that literally exploded it, scattering branches and logs quite some distance. I would have loved to witness it; nature can be quite impressive! Removing it from the trail may be possible but it will be a challenge, with definite safety issues to consider. We will return with more help to see what can be done.
