Calkens Hollow to White Pine Hollow


Jacob's Ladder


Adam uses the pole saw to remove any branches that may interfere with a person sitting on a horse.


Jodie targets the chokecherry and aspen.


Bees in the trees.


Chokecherry blossoms.


A "blaze" that was cut into the tree years ago to mark the trail.


It's all in how you hold your tongue when you sharpen a saw.



One of the bigger trees I've cut from a trail.


"Whatta ya do?" What will we do, to get this river off of this trail?


If you stand in cold water long enough, the foot freeze will eventually travel all the way up and lead to brain freeze.


It's fun to try and keep your boots dry but once you feel the water pour in...there is something liberating about knowing it can't get any worse.


This musta been one tall beaver.


This was the end of day 1 on Calkens Hollow. Jodie and I would return the next day, with hip boots, to complete the trail.


This area has not been so wet in past years and I hope it dries out next year.


Jodie stands with White Pine Hollow and Mount Nebo behind her.


Pollinators.


Black bear activity from earlier in the morning.










Dry feet...priceless.
