Week 16 - User Defined Routes/Trail Work

Feb. 8th, 2008 - As our next 4 day tour, we started at a place called Fort Churchill to restore some "user defined routes" or otherwise known as trails. Like other trail projects this was pretty boring to me, but overall it was probably one of the easiest projects we had done as well.
My father came in to town on the Saturday after we finished this trail, so I took him on a little nature hike. He found a sweet cow bone and posed for me...
This is the actual trail, and much different from Lovell Canyon is was almost a completely flat trail. This changes how much work we actually do because for human (and human only) trails, there is much less destruction that has to happen.
This was a really nice area to work in, filled with wildlife (hawks, bald eagle, rabbits, robins, etc) and we were right on the Carson River which is a great little river. Wonderful camping and not even too cold, in fact during the day it was in the 60's (SUPER!)

Next week, Ash Meadows!
