Pop, Drop and Lock It

So today was a pretty good day, even the few minutes of rain during break was refresing. We had nice weather and we got a lot of stuff done. The day started off with our usual hike up to the trail. I worked in a group officially named "The Man Crew Featuring Liz". This group consisted of Jon, Taylor, Anthony, Greg and me. We had some difficulty working in rock pit number 2. We started working right away and within the first half hour of working we managed to drop a rock that set itself perfectly. Our whole crew was shocked, although the rock soon became unset and the rest of our work was very frustrating. But in the end we had 2 huge steps added to the pit.

Early this morning a reporter and photographer from The Star Ledger hiked up to our trail to take pictures and talk to some of us. Jevon had a fun photo shoot as the photographer got some exciting pics of him sledging some rocks. We also got some group photos taken. And the article will be in The Star Ledger this Sunday.

During lunch Jon decided to bring a box of cherry tomatoes and gave one to each of us. The challenge was to throw the tomato at Jon's face and he will catch it in his mouth. And, depending on the throw, he ended up catching most of them, including one thrown by Greg across the whole rock pit.
"Pop, drop and lock it", quoted by Jon, is our process of moving a rock into place. Pop- lifting the rock up. Drop- drop into place. Lock it- setting the rock.
another term used by our crew, well just Taylor and I, is P.O.C. which stands for Point of contact.

So our day was pretty awesome and our trail is starting to look superrrr awesomeee :]
