Somewhat North Shipman

  • GET 2024 day 25, Oct 25, Friday
  • Start San Mateo Spring campsite
  • End Nave Spring campsite
  • 27 one-cuts, 1 two-cut, many no-cuts over 0.4 miles of Shipman

Continuing from where leaving off yesterday, I cleared blowdowns from Shipman Trail heading south. Trees often were not as big in diameter as yesterday, but were long enough that no-cut was impractical. Unlike yesterday, downed trees were more evenly spaced, until the very end of the day, with one big tangle.

Heading to camp, the trail climbs up a grassy slope with few trees, before descending to trail that I already cleared. So good news: Shipman is nearly cleared up to the Nave campsite.
