The hitch went on without a hitch. The crew felt good about the hard work they had been doing. The first few days were done doing preparation work for departure and for the construction of the fence. After a few days of preparation the crew, along with Joshua Simipson of the USFS and two other SCA interns constructed a fence and kiosk in the Snake Creek area. After the work was completed the crew continued doing final closing work and packed for departure. After the work was finished the crew went on a hike in a nearby mountain range in order to celebrate the closing of the season.
