Strength (Trail work) 2:00:00 [2]
4 hrs.
We’re building the first new major trail in Kolapore in 33 years.
Went in with 2 crews, headed by Bruce who built the first trail here 50 years ago.
Bill and I were on the stump-removal detail- rather than cut off trees leaving a roosterhead to trip on, we muscle them out with a pickaxe and saw, chopping the roots and torquing out the stumps. Hard work- I went through a lot of water. Turns out the sawzall works better on the roots than the hand saws or axe.
The 2 crews got maybe the northern 2/3 of the trail cleared, although there’s still weed whacking and refining to do.
