Exhausting trail maintenance day. I finished at sunset. Glen finished about an hour after sunset. 3 sawyers worked on clearing our trail less than a week ago. We went out to do some more work. The goal was to clear water bars and work on water diversions at stream crossings. And for me to do lopping near the summit. This is the first time in over a year that I've been able to hike to the summit. It's tiring, but the more I do it, the easier it will get. We saw 5 backpackers today, not all thru hikers.
