Courtney Lake camping and more Circle of Life trail clearing!

 The pack had taken a couple days off to travel to MN to spend an early Thanksgiving with Sandy's folks. With COVID running rampant, we all decided that wouldn't be wise. So with favorable fall weather, on Thursday we headed back to Courtney Lake to camp, and for more Circle of Life trail clearing.

After pulling in Thursday morning,
Arly got right to work. Ya it's been windy.

At camp at the end of the day.
Not much snow under the hemlocks.

We hunted for chipmunks, as usual.


Arly got a fire going.

They'll have sweet potato and steak.
Me and Wally will have lame kibble. Tsk!

The canopy was set up again, since tomorrow will be breezy.

Friday morning brought some snow, and another
fine day for trail work. But, when isn't it?

Lotsa shoots in some spots. Job security for next year!

This dead tree had fallen and wedged onto a
tree on the side of the trail.
For safety sake Arly cut it down.

Ellen joined in on the fun today!

The pole saw got quite a work out again.

Lots and lots of branch trimming was needed here.

Such a pretty lunch spot.

Ya Ellen I like that butt rubbing.

OK enough resting, let's get back to work!

Many hemlock branches were trimmed,
then dragged into the woods.

We made great progress today.

Thanks in large part to Ellen lending a hand!

We had such a nice day out in the woods.
