October 1, 2005 Work Day at Conway Robinson State Forest

The goal for this workday was to get started working on the Blue Trail in the SE part of the Forest to move it to higher ground with the expectation that it will be dry for a longer period of the year. We didn't get finished yet, and we hope, eventually to get some bridges across the stream crossings. Next work day is November 6th. Come help!

	Harry works hard at clearing the trail. This western part was a little easier, but everyone still worked super hard at the trail getting as much done in as short a time as possible.
	Here we moved into some much more difficult terrain. The ground wasn't too bad, but there were a lot of downed trees and a lot of overhanging branches (not to mention poison ivy) that needed clearing. Mike had a devil-may-care attitude and took care of the overhead branches.
	Larry gives a few whacks at a large tree. Meanwhile Jon works on clearing out the leaves.
	This shot shows the trail as it was being cleared. In the foreground, the ground has been quickly sketched in with a MacLeod. Farther ahead, the land is how it was found.
