Happy Jack - AZT #28
Navajo Spring Trail #98
Partners none no partners
Spent several days doing dayhikes to finish off segments 28, 29 and enjoy the great weather. Only saw a few elk and no deer, but lots of cows and horses. There were approximately 1 million people camping in the vicinity of Happy Jack and Mormon Lake on this Labor Day Weekend.

While the Mormon Lake segment was in perfect shape, I spent perhaps a total of 1.5 hours cutting and clearing smaller fallen trees off of segment 28. It appeared the recent storms were not friendly to the forest in this segment. There were 3 large fallen trees well beyond my capability on the trail where it makes a turn near Elkhorn tank. These will require a sawyer team and crosscut saw. Exact coordinates can be provided if requested.
