Last week consisted of a lot of tedious and time consuming lopping of our trail, the fun part of that was that I found out just how large of a tree I could cut down with a pair of loppers. There was a very fun part of the week though, our sponsor brought up a Pionjar, for those not in the know that’s a gas powered rock drill/jack hammer, to drill holes in some large rocks that our crew could not move. The plan is to blow them up next week, which should offer us a few hours of excitement. The rest of the week was spent doing retread, we have finished close to 1,500 feet so far and only have about another mile left to go. The sad news of the week was that it was Vicky’s last week, she’s moving on to greener pastures, she has landed herself a job in Spain teaching English. Well Vicky, Adios and good luck!
