Trail creation from South Side into Eastern Wedge

TRAILS: 3 hours: 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM

Trail creation from South Side unit #4 into Eastern Wedge unit #5.

Trail creation from South Side unit #4 into Eastern Wedge unit #5. First, some final logs cut and tossed off the road; then cut through some stumps and downed logs past the South Side high landing into the young hemlock forest. Pierced the veil of brushy hemlock at the solar edge, cleared suppressed trees, brush and downed woody material, heading NE along the contour, about 100 feet into the stand. Very heavy growth in the understory took extra time to clear. Nearly impossible to sight through the terrain to see where the best route lays – just have to clean it up, prune off the low branches and slash the wood to the ground before a final trail route can be selected.
