Hitch-3 Wynoochee and Joint Project w/WCC@ Dry Cr

We returned to the Wynoohcee for our third hitch, excited to
give another round of 10 days hard work to our first major
re-route. After cleaning up from weekend campers and setting up
our base camp, we picked up tools and began the finishing touches
to tread and brushing along the completed part of our re-route.
On day three, our crew succeeded in strengthening teamwork in
order to fix a large dip in the trail. We hauled rock, crush, and
fill all day to fill and smooth the dip. The accomplishment we
felt as a group when we finished the project was overwhelming. We
continued on, removing stumps and hauling fill to pad over
old-growth cedar roots in the path of our trail. For the second
part of our hitch, we left the Wynoochee to work on several
pressing trouble-spots on the Dry Creek Trail, near the Skokomish
Wilderness Area. There, we paired up with the local WCC trail
crew to complete several rocky stream fords. We enjoyed working
with another crew, and we were sure grateful of extra hands to
complete the crossings! We returned home from the hitch, content
in our work and excited to finish our first big project on the
Wynoochee.
