I managed to cut a nice slice and move both pieces of the trunk to a new home on the sides of the trail.</div><div dir="auto">Reading and seeing the work of other members has inpired me to do what little I can here and there on the trails. I&#39;m hoping to hike more and contribute more :)</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">     *Another hiker said the tree wasn&#39;t there two weeks or so ago, and it wasn&#39;t there 13 days ago when I came close to the summit. <br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Bill Kearns </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Sent from Gmail Mobile</div>
