This was our maiden voyage as a crew fresh out of training and turned out to be a great success. We worked along the North Fork of the wild and scenic, John Day River. The days were packed with hiking, sawing, chopping, digging, exploring abandoned cabins, removing ticks, cooking, cleaning and lively conversation. In all, 10 miles of trails were improved by clearing down trees, repairing tread, building cairns and an awesome reroute project. We all came out enriched by the wilderness with big smiles, stronger hiking legs, and exciting stories to tell.
