February 11, 2008 Trail Update

Monday February 11, 2008

Great digging weather today high 40's but little sunshine. Five hardy traildogs worked on a challenging section of trail. Some of the tread was like walking on small bowling balls laced with refrigerator-sized boulders. This portion of the first switchback provides a little respite from the constant climbing we have been experiencing as it makes its way around to the west. The naked winter forest allows us to observe the many rock outcroppings and overhangs usually hidden by the dense foliage.

Highlight of the day was homemade cake shared with the team at lunch as provided by my sister. I hate to use the clique but the team fell on the cake like starving dogs.

We will start a little later tomorrow Tuesday 2/12/08 9:00 am unless it rains, our weather rules are if it is raining doesn't leave home but also don't believe forecasts.

Come when can and leave when you want. Bing a lunch and fluids and join us.

Wednesday 2/13/08the good folks at Shangri La resort have offered to provide the dig team with complimentary breakfast. We will meet at the lodge located at the end of Shangri La road at 7:30 for a carb-up then on to the trail. If you plan to join please let me know so I can provide them with a number to expect.
