Hitch 3

Rock Cribbing 23ft
Rock Water Bars 1
Rock Crush Created for Filling Tread 50cubic feet
Drainage Ditches 48ft

Hitch 3 started off with a relatively light hike in, as we were planning on doing a short but brutal set of four 10hr days. After a setting up camp and taking lunch we got right to work on the second set of cribbing which was started on hitch 2. Despite the fact that we were working 10hr days moral was greatly improved as Mitch was back on the job after being on light duty most of last hitch due to a back injury. The whole crew worked dedicatedly through the long days, and we accomplished our goal of finishing all of the rock setting for the second set of cribbing. Although we did not entirely finish filling the cribbing in with crush, we put down a solid base layer, finished the water bars at the top and bottom, and completed the drains so we left for the 4th of July weekend with a fully functional hardened section of trail.

At the close of our strenuous 4 day hitch we were ready for a much needed break.
