Head Back Again

  • GET 2024 day 21, Oct 21, Monday
  • Start Nave Spring campsite
  • End home
  • Lopped and surveyed half a day between Nave Spring and intersection of Shipman with Apache Kid trail

The northern part of Shipman after Nave Spring is not nearly as brushy as closer to the trailhead, but as the trail approaches Apache Kid we enter a zone of Gambel Oak, and a thorough lopping takes a long while.

But I do not do a thorough job, and just hit the worst bits for now. Time to head home in preparation for a well-deserved zero day tomorrow.

Nearly2

  • GET 2024 day 20, Oct 20, Sunday
  • Start Nave Spring campsite
  • End Nave Spring campsite
  • Continued sawing between Nave Spring and Myers cabin, mostly near the cabin

Blue skies and no sign of rain help the ongoing effort. On the slope up to Myers Cabin is a huge tangle of downed trees, with no visible tread.

Most can be moved with no-cut, and eventually a way is cleared.

About 15 large logs remain on this section, that I had hoped to complete today. The larger logs take quite a while to cut solo, perhaps 30 minutes or more apiece, so that could be another full day.
