After seeing blow downs on yesterdays hike, we decided we wanted to visit the trail we maintain, to see how its doing. We hiked to our turnaround point, and then started on our trail maintenance. For this trip, Glen was focusing on fixing the metal tags that are used at points to mark the trail. The trail has a mix of painted blazes and metal tags. I worked on clearing branches and sticks from the trail. Glen also cut down a small tree and sawed through a tree going across the trail. We brought Trek along and left Krummholz at home. Trek loves trail maintenance - well, the stick clearing part. I throw sticks and he brings them back, lol. I try to trick him and throw a small twig one way, and then throw branches another way. He's caught on though.
