Mike Ketscher talking about his various rock work experiences working for the Forest Service.
   
Mike and John Glenn pointing out examples of poor rock work.

Searching for the perfect rock!

Mike finally finds the perfect rock!
   
Deena Murray doing a great job driving the power wheelbarrow. 
   
Tony Cortez and Ted Young laying the
foundation for a rock wall.
   
Now Catherine knows what is meant by hard labor. Catherine is shaping a rock to fit into place, much like a jigsaw puzzle.
   

Norm is using a nifty device that helps split and shape rock.
   
The best thing about this trip was the hot soup that Sue Duxbury prepared and Shane delivered to the worksite each day! Yum Yum!
   
John Glenn discussing feathers and wedges and their uses during lunch.
