Trail creation up Middle Ridge on the South Side

TRAILS: 3 hours: 2:45 PM to 5:45 PM

Completed Middle Ridge trail up to skid road system in South Side unit #4.

Trail establishment in south side Unit #4: Completed the central ridge trail from the remnant grove up to the road system at the second junction. Very tough and thick area with multi-layered piles of blow-down and logging slash, and some larger trees to cut through. Ended up with a wide, nicely-graded path that will likely end up as a skid road in the near future. Also cut up more logs and tree tops on the road between the road junctions, but ran out of light and had to leave the cut-up chunks to toss later.
