Sunday Work Day

Oscar from the King City Church brought 7 young men up to the camp to work. Oscar works 6 days a week so Sundays are his only day to volunteer. I had them pick up where the men left off on Saturday.

So trenches were back filled from the power pole to the cabins.

More branches from trimming were moved to Decembers burn pile. They also collected a trailer load of wood cut last May and stacked it at the wood pile.

They dressed up the zip line route a little more. I told them I took the picture to document who was not working. That got a laugh.

While we were picking up the brush. Oscar was adjusting the skids on the flail mower. He changed it from about 1" of cutting distance to about 5". I had broke the two belts four days earlier because of inadequate ground clearance and the adobe soil.There are many things to in this job to learn.

I have wanted to extend the area where we have the dumpsters. So I started moving some of the large rocks we have to build a short retaining wall, then back fill with some dirt. Some of the rocks weigh more than 200lbs so we used the tractors on them. Here they are moving a smaller rock and tamping the dirt down with a "pogo stick" powered by the white tractor.The boys did enjoy using the pogo stick. This project helped fill a need to create. I am hoping to have these young men back in two weeks to help spread fibar along the zip line track. The process of men working together achieves something special.
