Big tree on the Helms Meadow trail near Courtright
Reservoir..

...and after the blockage was cleared, two hours
later.

Andrea (L) saws with Ken as Mike hammers the wedges on the
Helms Meadow trail.

Janna Owens takes a break from arduous duties
sawing...

...this log.

This shorter log had to be moved so the larger log could be
moved.

Even 10-year-old Mitchell got in on the
act.

79-year-old Jim Willmott taking his turn on the saw. We think
he lies about his age; he certainly kept up with the group hiking,
working, and put many people half his age to
shame.

Jim Willmott. He's a great asset on the trail...

Group shot of the Helms Meadow trail saw team.
From left to right; Mike , Janna (sitting), Ken, Karen and
her son Mitchell (kneeling) Andrea, Jim, Crew Leader Barbara
Wingfield, and Ken.

Mike crosses the stream VERY carefully carrying a large
cross-cut saw against his neck.

Back at camp, frisky Andrea Brown checking out one of the
volunteers.

Shane and Barbara working out crew assignments early in the
morning.

Mike Nolen instructs Shane in a coordination test; "Now, rub
your belly and jump up and down on one foot..."

Boston Terrier "Oreo". A face only a mother or a ten-year-old
named Mitchell could love.
Notice the eyes...

Mike Nolen works on a trailhead notice board.
Before

...and after a new coat of Forest Service Green
paint

...and after all the notices had been put back up.
Groovy!
