What a great day at the hole. Thanks to EVERYONE who came out and put in a few short hours. Your help is greatly appreciated by EVERYONE who will use the trails this year.
I don't have any pictures of the rock throwing. I'm sure Wingnut will drop a few great photos of the actual river crossing work and some of the ugly (and not so ugly) mugs that made it out.
I was in charge of the actual trail 2W01 restoration since the rains and snows this year. Very minimal damage to the trail shelf but need reinforcing in some locales. A few shrubs and whatnot were across the trail causing some braiding, so I lopped them off.
Here is a picture of the washout. Not actually difficult, but eventually the traill WILL disappear if not cut into the hilside better.
Here is the restoration of the section. 6 inches wide. When restoring trails, you follow the contour of the hillside rather than filling in or digging down.
A serious braiding of the trail on the top side of 2W01. I moved some large logs into the path, to obviously redirect traffic for those that need herding.
After a HOT day trimming shrubbery and cutting trail into a rock face, I stopped at the northern end of 2W01 for a splash of water on my face and a quick nap.
Here's the video of my travels NB on 2W01 for the day.

Headed back to find the river crossing and beach fortified, obviously marked, and clean.
They had installed some signage, fixed some other signage, and made the river crossing a joy to cross. I got soaked. -BIG DAN
