Drew begins work on a rock bar installation. Our crews have worked hard to throw all loose rock from this portion of trail over the past 2 years only to see all of the fine sediment washed out of the trail this season, exposing new rock that was previously buried. Lesson? Pay attention to drainage.
Each year new rock is deposited at stream crossings. Here we are consolidating the rock to reestablish the trail through the stream bed.
The stream, which previously ran to my left in the picture, now runs to my right...where the trail used to be. For now the water is low enough that it won't be an issue. In high water years such as this was, it is somewhat common to see streams and trails migrate 15-20 feet here and there.
I have never seen such a quantity and diversity of mushrooms as I have this summer. Lots of water...lots of cows...lots of mushrooms.
I have also seen more snakes this summer than all others combined. Jodie somehow noticed this tree climber as we hiked up the trail.
