Work Trip-8-22

Hi all, Carol again.

We had a work trip again on Tuesday. Big group for a nice day.

I was off and on winch/trail grading. I was lifting up and down a large rock as well as a carrier full or gravel; most of the time I was levelling out the grade of a section of nearly completed trail. We are trying to keep the grade of the trail to be no more steep then 10%, so one section needed to be lowered to allow for that. I'm sure the long distance hikers and the families with small kids will appreciate that!

Christine was finishing up a part of the trail that needed to be recribbed, as was mentioned in a previous entry. She was putting the orange colored mineral soil as a top tread material and then patting it down.

Brian, Richard and Renato were working on moving the gravel down the way to be back fill for the stairs from Sunday etc.

Ollie and Sona were working on splitting the huuuuge rock that was quarried down 2 weeks ago Tuesday. They got a few good chunks off, but it still needs further splitting.

Eddie was, of course, walking around from place to place helping each group.

Friday starts a workshop for Advanced Stone work, so if you are interested, call up our Volunteer Coord soon! Hope to see you all soon.

Also, if you are reading this, please post a comment. It would be nice to know if we have an audience yet!
