Friday morning, this is our last work trip for 2022 and it's going to be a great day
Getting ready to leave the woods parking lot
It???s 1.3 miles to the beginning of the relocation and the relocation is .5 mile long
At the worksite and ready to go
These steps need more crush
Erik has a plan to finish the steps.
Marty has been making more crush

Another big step on the move
I think we found the last step we need
Russ and Erik prepare the base
We'll just leave it here until tomorrow
Time to pack up and head to the parking lot
On the northern section, Dr. Dave gets ready to climb some trees

After a really great day, our Friday crew meeting
Rain all day Saturday so we will meet again on Sunday for our last crew work trip day of 2022
Sunday morning, our final work trip in 2022
A great group of volunteers out today
Last time leaving the woods parking lot this year
Now crossing Surebridge Brook on the A.T.
Our new relocation will alleviate this crossing
Dr. Dave and Dan work on the top step
Dr. Dave wants to split this piece off and use it as a step
Once loose, Peter drags it downhill
Dan makes sure the hole is big enough for the step
Peter pushes it into the hole
Russ does the finish work
Marci and Linda define the path to the stream
It‘s about .01 mile to the stream
These steps are now complete
It's time to go so lets get going
All tools and equipment will be taken off the mountain
Our last trip out for the year
We will meet the Parks Dept gator up ahead
The gator will transport the heavy tools to the woods lot
A big Thank You to Mickey Cahill and his team
All the tools are out of the woods for the winter
Ladders and packs go into Erik's truck
Last look of the woods lot for 2022
Bye for now, see you in the Spring
Final crew meeting for 2022. and a big Thank You to all the volunteers who joined in this year
Looking forward to 2023
