Description:

Today started out pretty cold at around 8 degrees F.  However there was little wind and it was not too bad.  Later it warmed up to near 30 and felt quite nice.  We did have a little trouble starting the Canycom and the Vermeer.  For the Vermeer we had to drive the truck back out to pick up a battery booster.  That did the trick and even though the machine was a bit sluggish until the hydraulic fluid warmed up, it eventually ran very well.  We decided to rough in trail since the first few inches of ground was frozen and would make it hard to do any trial finishing work.  But it was fine for roughing in trail.  Once we broke through the first 3 inches the dirt was very nice below that.  We were able to also use the dirt we dug out to continue adding to a banked turn we had been working on.  As usual we spent a bunch of time sorting all the organic out and even some of the larger rocks.  We used the larger rocks on the back side of the banked turn for support.  We were pretty happy with our progress on a very steep side hill.  We are getting pretty close to the drainage crossing.
