Continuing the prep work for the February 5th HTMC hike I again ventured up the trail to do more work w/pick and rake. Today I was lucky and the very helpful Jill came along. She saved so much time and work for me. I swung the pick for a bit over an hour and she worked the loose soil off the trail w/a small rake. This section is not finished, but it's much better and safer than it was before we began.
Here are before and after photos. I may look like we just cleared the leaves off the trail, but we really did move a lot of soil and the trail is a lot more level than it was before. I'll probably go back next Sunday and continue to work this section.
