[Volunteers_fosm] Fwd: Bill Spring photo for report

[Louis Romero via Volunteers_fosm]

This the "addendum" to the report Bob Lowder distributed yesterday
regarding work on Bill Spring, a section of Faulty and Oso Corredor.  His
report refers to our second crew of Sam Beard, Carl Smith, Bet Gendron and
myself.

First I want to thank Pauline Ho and Rick Buss for their very helpful
reporting and Bob Lowder and his very capable crew for offering to clear
Oso Corredor, the Amigos Adopted Trail that Patrick Petracca and I are
responsible for.

 Following is what our 4 person team accomplished and a photo (by Carl
Smith) of the "train wreck at the bottom of Bill Spring, just a short
distance from the upper picnic area at Doc Long:

Sam and Carl, each using a chainsaw, removed 4 ft chunks from 2- 20" DWF
lying across the trail.  Bet and I swamped and cleared the tangle of limbs
from both trees.  The project took approximately 1 hour and the trail is
now clear for easy passage.  Bob Lowder and his crew went above and cleared
the rest of Bill Spring and a section of Faulty as already reported by Bob.

Our crew then returned to our vehicles at  Doc Long and made a "giant leap
frog" to Oso Corredor.  We parked at the locked gate and took the short cut
to the Faulty/Oso trail junction.

250 ft. from the junction, Carl removed the 8" DWF and Sam removed the 10"
DWF previously reported by Pauline and Rick. In the immediate vicinity
there was a 9" DWF hangup (unreported) over the trail.  We decided it was a
"danger" hangup and  removed it by felling the 10" tree that was holding
it.  Also removed a 5" DWF leaning over the trail.  A total of 5 trees
removed at this location.

600 ft further up the trail, Sam removed a 4ft. chunk off the 11" DWF
previously reported across the trail. In the meantime, Bob Lowder's crew
came up from Bill Spring/Faulty and leap frogged ahead of us to work on the
large "mess" previously reported.

Our last work was removing large protruding branches from a tree that had
fallen parallel to the trail.  From there our crew turned around and hiked
back through the short cut to our vehicles. Our small crew removed a total
of 8 trees.

As already reported by Pauline and Rick there are many down trees left to
clear on upper 2 miles of Oso Corredor to the junction with Tree Spring..
