Friday's wood shuffle to the NCT

On Friday a crew gathered to shuttle wood the last mile to the meadow where a board walk is needed.
The crew gathers at the parking lot on S. Laird road, at FR 1360.

Dean brought the much needed ATV and trailer to move
materials out with.  I've worked with him on the NCT before!

Smart talk before we start in, heading down the 2-track in
towards the dam.

This was after the 1st load was in.
Wood was strapped to wheelbarrows for the last 300ft trip to the meadow.

Scott hauls 8ft lumber in.
We decided the wheelbarrow wasn't needed for the long boards.
The job site.
Me and my crew were here a month ago and whacked the weeds down.

Another load arrives!  Dean did about 5 trips in over the last mile.

Taking the straps off.

Our foreman, Doug, kept us organized.

Some friendly hikers came by!  I love them!  They are from down state.

The are day-hiking our chapter's sections.

We got things ready to be assembled together into a grand board walk.

In the afternoon, Dean and Scott headed back.  Thanks guys!!

The rest of the crew finished up organizing the materials.

Lunch time.  What a lovely day to be working in the woods.

Jim, those snacks smell awfully tasty.

Hopefully we'll be back next weekend or soon after that,
to build the board walk.
We hike out.
This is another RR logging trail made for a narrow grade RR.
Lock trouble!  We can't get it properly lined up and relocked.

Plus, it's drizzling again.

What a fantastic day!
We hope you can join us for the grand adventure of building the board walk!
We'll send out announcements, so you can mark your calendar.
