Talus and Cabin

  • GET 2024 day 6, Oct 6, Monday
  • Start basecamp lower Shipman
  • End basecamp lower Shipman
  • Cleared over 40 logs, mostly no-cut

Today the work would be above Myers Spring, all the way to the saddle and Myers Cabin, about 0.8 miles in length.

First a few tangles need to be cleared.

Finally the logs start gettting larger in diameter, and a wedge can be helpful.

Along a talus field, brush still somehow finds a way to grow along the trail, and only along the trail, needing lopping.

The Myers Cabin ruins are burned in past fires and vanished, but a basement foundation remains.

The workday is long, and sleep comes fast.
