Getting ready to continue on the trail, after removing a tree on the second day. The tree was right in front of the camera. It is a little hard to see where it was. It is always amazing to see how easily a tree over two feet in diameter can blend in with it surroundings. (The tree before it got removed is here.)

Here is one of our "fun" tangles of trees. These trees are laying across the middle of a creek and yes that is Marty (all 6 ft 3 in) of him standing in their middle. Eric is on the left.

Eric muttering nasty things while Karl gets the picture. In the background note the large tree that has fallen over. This tree threw up a large "root ball". We eventually decided to leave it there and reroute the trail around the root ball.

Turning around and heading back to the trail "start". We started this section of the trail at a place near the cabin, so we actually headed back to a point about a 1/2 mile back just before it headed back up again.
