This hitch, we descended further into the Kings Range and even made it out to the ocean clearing the Rattlesnake Ridge trail. We cleared 3 miles and cross cut 42 logs off of the trail. To assist with two vague stream crossings, we built 3 cairns to calrify the intended route. We also began constructing numerous crib walls and, although our progress was hindered by a malfunctioning drill, we left them nearly complete and will see them through to completion on our next hitch. Reaching the ocean and relaxing on the Lost Coast Beach was certainly a highlight of our recent time in the Kings Range...as was Josh's steamrolling of an entire Poison Oak bush.
The numbers:
3 miles of trail cleared
42 logs cross cut off trail
