Tuesday, July 19

Today was very much a typical day at the trail (save for the excessive humidity and the abundance of flies). After two weeks of non stop crush-work from the crew, all the major holes in the trail are filled and set. The tread-work is complete all the way to the end of our trail, leaving us with the final duty of putting the finishing touches on it. Due to the inclined nature of a mountain trail, ours needs a significant amount of drainage and water bars. Filling in the remaining diviets and crevices with fill is the last step in making the trail as comfortable as possible for the hikers.
