Water Found

  • GET 2024 day 2,  Oct 2, Wednesday
  • Start basecamp 0.5 miles below Myers Spring
  • Stop return to basecamp
  • Lopped and cleared trees lower 1/4 trail to ridge, found water

The drainage to Myers Spring had a trickle of water, great news, so I will not need to carry more water up from the car.

My short saw broke, when the nut at the hinge came loose and fell off somewhere on the trail.

Fortunately a spare saw was waiting at the car. From there half the trail to basecamp was cleared, about a quarter of the trail up to the ridge.

What a vigorous long day of lopping! Here is a podcast recommendation that helped me work: A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs, by Andrew Hickey.
