Those 30 trees from yesterday? Yeahhh, there were actually over 50 obscuring
the path. Combine the miscalculation
with the encroaching vegetation and we got ourselves a 13 hour work day. You know, despite the sheer exhaustion I am
currently entertaining the notion of working 3 13 hour shifts a week and having
the other 4 days off. This is for after
the program, of course, as I am averaging 60 hours a week here in Montana and
there is no indication that the days will shorten. Ah well; see the need, meet the need—it’s how
we roll! Awesome views and great people
make it all worthwhile.
We did manage to finish Gilbert Trail with a little extra
effort. That trail has been on the Corps
to do list since we arrived in Montana so I’m glad we can finally check that
off. Our team would have finished a
little sooner but I caught a thunderstorm trying to creep up on us so we had to
seek shelter in the woods for a time. I
consider myself to have poorer hearing than most, but I somehow am always the
first to notice thunder. Weird.
Anyways, I’m going to go crash. Good night friends.
