As always our November 14th session started with hot Starbucks Coffee. And this session, since it was wet and cold, it was really important.
A special thanks to the Mount Vernon Haggen location of Starbucks Coffee, they’ve donated our coffee for over five years now…
In this second image (below) you’ll see our crew at the beginning of the day. There were only ten (10) of us but we accomplished a great deal.
Maybe not everyone understands that sessions are “rain or shine.”
Below John stands on the trail called Rooty. We worked on the north end of this trail extension. In the background you can see Bret and Nicholai.
We got enough work done that next session we will work from the opposite end of this trail. We will set-up next to the mid-mountain map kiosk, it is there at the crosswalk on the main access road.
Following, you’ll see Bret and Nicholai. They were in the background in the above photo.
In this fifth photo (below) CJ is further north packing down the trail tread.
Below Alex gets to develop some new skills, driving the power wheelbarrow.
And so did Nicholai, that’s the upside of volunteering on low turnout days.
When the session ended we were all tired. It was a solid session, thanks everyone. We hope to see you next session, December 12th…
And remember: layer your clothing, and bring a hat and rain coat!
