Wishon Lake
August 22-25 This was the one of the largest groups in the 7-year history of Trial Crew. Over 80 people joined in projects on Friday and Saturday, and over 95 people attended the Salmon Feed Saturday night. As of this date (8/26/02), we have more than doubled last year's output of volunteer labor. Work was completed on the Nelson Lake and Cliff Lake Trail. The Nelson Lake Trail was particularly infested with down trees. In only one mile 6 trees were cut from the trail. The Rancheria Trail above Wishon Lake was cleared of much of the brush that had grown to almost impassable proportions. Additionally we completed the Wood Chuck trail loop where our group removed 23 more trees from the trail.
