20-25 of us got out onto the trail just after 10 am. Once we got to the reroute area we split into a couple groups and headed off. There was about 1/2 mile or so of new trail we were going top add in. Chainsaws started up, rakes began exposing the fresh terrain and muscle moved the dead fall.

Here's our group working in reverse from the end of the reroute




Bill clearing out the deadfall (deadlean)





Another group on the other side of the valley








Working out the best way to attack this area





Here you can see what the area turned out to be




You can see the berm coming together

Mellow & fast log pile

And finally the log crossing on the side of the ridge near the end

Looks like you had a lot of help.Also looks like you are building an Interstate highway . Before our trail building sessions the trail captain reminds the volunteers to rake parallel to the path of the trail. The idea is SINGLE track. Try to pick the best line and disturb only the minium of cover to prevent erosion.
