Mazama trail annual maintenance complete

Post by Rick » August 27th, 2012, 7:41 pm

Just got back from the annual 4 day Mazama work party, our first since the Dollar Lake fire last year. All logs are cleared out (there weren't too many thanks in part to the USFS hazardous tree removal efforts), the gravel bed through the rock slide down low has been replenished, brushing completed, and a number of small tread restoration efforts were done. Note to self: A dust mask might have been useful, gag, hack, cough. Other than coal miners disease, I feel great though.

We logged just under 200 person-hours this year, a vast improvement over last year thanks to better organization and advertising within the Mazamas. Part of that time was spent on the drive out trying to fix 400' of blocked ditch on the 1810 spur road. This is something the USFS should be doing with power equipment but we doubted they'd get to it before the seasonal rains and the cross road bed erosion looked like it could get serious. A few photos included below,

Cheers

Thanks, I sawed off a few smaller trees on my way down a week back, but left a couple of the bigger ones for you!
