Getting Back To Work On the Old Trail

Sunday March 2, 2025 Guerneville CA.

Trail work

I’ve been too busy working on the old road to get much trail work done this winter, but today, I got my tools and rode the small quad runner up the narrow trail to where I had some trail work to do. quad2

I had to stop here  to kick that dirt pile out of the way so I could get by. There’s just barely enough room for the quad runner to use this trail.quad

I brough the chainsaw up to cut this log across the trail. I cranked and cranked but after a couple of pops, it wouldn’t start.log3

I figured the saw was likely flooded, so I walked up the trail a ways to this log and tried to get it going again, but no go.saw4

I wore myself out trying to start the chainsaw, so had to sit in this chair for a break.chair5

Once I was rested up, I walked out the trail until I got to this part that needed to be widened out a bit.trail6

I got that section done and sat down for another break.trao;7

I still had the section in front of the chair to do, so got to it.chair8

I had this bit of rock to move out of the way and I’d be done.rock9

It showered once for a few minutes, but not enough to get me wet under the trees.

I got that last rock moved and was done for the day.trail10

I wanted to cut that leaning tree out of the way, so I tried to start the chainsaw again, but I couldn’t even get a pop out of it.tree11

I was tired out after all the work, so I sat in this chair until almost dark, just enjoying the forest.chair12

I headed home for a nap, taking the dead chainsaw with me.

Nice day.
