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.

...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!
