This week: trail maintenance

We trekked down into the woods with our tools in my backpack. I had brought the tamarack boards down (2x6x10') two weeks before with the four wheeler. Today Hana and I just nailed them in place.
Here, we made a wooden bridge for the brush hog. Its set perfectly to fit the wheels.
Oh, what good models we make!The same people who need work on their trails raise show dogs. This is the puppy area and I needed to put more stone in the bottom and put barriers up around the base so they couldn't get under the ramp.
Hana and I moved more than 3,000 pounds of stone! Phew!

This work tood us three man-days.
