Yet more NCT fun!

Oh ya, I was out doing trail work again and camped in the Ottawa last night.   Then we cleared more of the North Country Trail on the same section seen in some past posts.

We got in at dusk, so photos start in the morning. 
It got down to about 40 overnight.

Camp breakfast is not complete without Neuske's.

With the days getting shorter, lanterns are coming out again.

MMM, pancakes! And our garden blue berries.

Our intrepid crew for the day: Linda, Josh, me, Arly
and of course Sandy took the photo.

C'mon Josh, let's go!  He's been a BIG help here.

Ya Sandy, lets get that brush tossed off.

It's a good thing they have me to direct them. We had lots to do!

Lookin' better.

I thought this burl was very interesting.

Arly kept everybody busy cutting down brush.

The handy pole saw got this one off the trail.

Lunch! This is the tree Arly had just cut with the saw.

We spied a porky den. No one was home, fortunately.

After Arly trimmed overhead limbs, we came behind with loppers.

Lotsa little trees and branches got lopped, to clear the sight lines.

Ya Linda, as long as you're down here you may as well pet me.

OK, I know you have to get back to work.

Josh then came through to finish up with the whacker.

Made it to the beaver dam! We had a second lunch here. 
This is such a pretty spot!

Then, we brushed back the old grade leading up to
the beaver dam.

I was so glad to spend the day in the woods! 
Spent 9 hours out here today, so we were all tired.
